I had to buy this book for school purposes. I'm not much of a reader myself so I didn't think I would enjoy it but I actually did! The collection of stores in this book are great! There are many stories dating way back that have lots of hidden messages. I liked that aspect of that because the stories had a much deeper meaning than they appeared. I kept this book with me even after the course was over.
This is a book worth reading. Although it was assigned by a class ofmine, I really enjoyed the collection of short stories.
As advertised good transaction
Good book required by school.
My son found it helpful
