[Tyler · Rating 2 out of 5]

The Red Badge of Courage - Not my favorite style of writing but a good story nonetheless.

Maggie: A Girl of the Streets - I guess Stephen Crane is just not my favorite author. I didn't like the style much, and I thought it was a little too short and lacking much of a plot. I never really felt connected to the characters at all.

An okay book. Classics are important to read but sometimes they do not click for me.
