My Review:

In this Graphic Classic we focus on the novels of O'Henry. Some of the stories were good and some were dull. This book took me longer to get through than usual because there were more stories I did not care for than ones that I did like. My favorite short story of the book is The Ransom of Red Chief. My least favorite is Roads of Destiny.

The different stories had different author adaptions and illustrators. Some of the drawing were better than others as well. This type of book is really hard to review because there is so much going on.


I rate this book a 3/5
