I'm so happy I finally finished this book!ĭespite this collection of stories only being around 250 pages long and written in a way that's fairly easy to understand, it took me a shockingly long time to get through it. Overall, do I feel like this book was worth reading past the first classic short story within? Yes. I also feel like I should note, in general, that there is a murder or a death in every single one of these stories. He does get up to some misadventures and it was an all right read. More of a pain than anything else, really. Most of my brain power went into trying to understand what was even being said so I guess I didn't get a lot out of it plot-wise. I actually had to just open my copy of the book and flip to a passage from Markheim to even recall what this was about, which is kind of sad. My favourite story here besides Jekyll and Hyde.Īn interesting little story, but with an overall unlikeable main character.
One of the creepier tales in this collection, I thought. There are about a million reviews on this one, so I don't want to repeat them, but I do want to say that this is great, and this is short, so why not just read it? The first was five years ago so my memory of it is vague, meaning that I got to essentially rediscover it again this time. This one's a classic, of course, and this was my second time reading it. I'll briefly mention my thoughts on all the stories below. I have no idea how I should rate a collection of short stories, so I'm just going to go with a 3 star rating because some were better than others.
