I got this book to read some of the stories Mom read me when i was a child. I enjoyed reading the stories, but it looked to me like about 1/2 the book was for students wanting to write short stories.

There is so much to learn about the way those writers saw a story and wrote them. I liked the stories.

the collection is great. I would suggest reading the bios at the end of the book first. They shed some light on the style and subjects of the authors.

The Short Story was our book club selection; none of the members had read it so approved by reviews. My take was that it as not worth finishing as I found it gross at times, and boring at other times . It seemed like the other members of the group agreede
