Review # 1 was written on 2019-08-30 00:00:00 Gerard Beland ENGLISH: Sixteen short stories by O.Henry. I liked especially four of them: "The fourth ingredient," "Buried treasure," "No story," and "The higher pragmatism." It's curious, those I most liked all had an element of romance, although not all of them end happily. Or perhaps they do! ESPAÑOL: Dieciséis cuentos de O.Henry. Cuatro de ellos me gustaron más que los demás. Es curioso, los cuentos que más me gustaron tenían todos un elemento romántico, aunque no todos acaban bien. O quizá sí...

Review # 2 was written on 2018-01-26 00:00:00 Suzanne Goebelt There's a certain sameness to most O. Henry stories, and if you're just getting started on O. Henry, you may want to start with collections like "The Four Million" or "Cabbages and Kings" that contain his more famous stories. There aren't many well-known stories in "Options"; perhaps "The Hiding of Black Bill" might be an exception. But if you've read those already, but would like hearing almost any story told in the inimitable voice of O. Henry, with its colorful and almost incomprehensible slang, twist endings and humorous affection for all of humanity, whether they are harmless felons or rivals in a dusty Southwestern town for the affections of the one young lady in a fifty-mile radius, you will enjoy "Options" as I did.
