Steven Ray reviewed Five Great Short Stories by Anton Chekhov
Two or three good stories and a couple of head-scratchers
3 stars
Chekhov is revered, and I'm sure he wrote many wonderful, compelling things. But the title of this book is a misnomer. I'd say that three were worthwhile, though perhaps all three had endings that left me wanting. And the other two were meh, at best. So maybe read some Chekhov, just not this particular collection.
