5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing writer, great deal, February 18, 2007
By Sohail Ahmed "superso" (brooklyn, ny usa) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is short but packed with excellent short stories by Crane. I had to buy this for an english class but I've read it twice since then just because its so good. The first story takes place in Brooklyn and it seems very authentic even today. This is one of my favorite authors and I guess there's a reason they have you read him in school - to get you into reading!

4.0 out of 5 stars New York Matters, June 22, 2003
By Kristen M. Fusaro (Staten Island, NY United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Crane has a delightfully light style of writing that can take the deepest and most sorrowful of situations, and somehow bring them light. His, "Maggie: A Girl of the Streets," is a wonderful depiction of life for a 19th century girl in New York. "The Open Boat" puts you on the ship; you can naturally feel the narration and flow with him as he crashes against the waves. A wonderful read for any interested in American or New York literature.

I was very impressed by author Stephen Crane's abilities. Wish I could articulate the reasons, but I'm so overwhelmed by his skill and artistry, that's all I can say.

5.0 out of 5 stars Crazy Swede
Lamentably, Crane died of tuberculosis at 28. This small collection of stories lets us realize what we have missed. He would have become a master of the short story. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Better Than "The Red Badge of Courage"
Crane proves to be an early American master of the short story. I found "Courage" to be plodding and obvious, but Crane's short stories rescue his literary reputation... Read more
