Title: Difficult for the average reader to get through
Review: While I enjoyed re-reading classics like "Rip Van Winkle" and "Legend of Sleepy Hollow", the new stories were difficult to get a grasp for. The language in all of Irving's stories is rich and very heavy in description. Like any other classics writer, he lives up to his name of being a wonderful writer. The difference being is that Irving decided to write short stories where the reader does not have nearly as much time to dive into the book as other authors allow. Maybe I'm not a short stories reader. I am by no means saying that this book is not a wonderful piece of literature; but what I am trying to get across is though great, was difficult for me to get through.
