Having been written around 100 years ago, I found the style of writing a bit difficult to follow in some parts although the short stories were very cleverly plotted with vivid descriptive detail. A thinking person's book, which is a nice change to some of the more modern 'action-packed' novels, I would recommend it to anyone who prefers a book which makes them reflect on life's situations and human nature.

I don't think G.K. Chesterton is my cup of tea. Well written but just doesn't really appeal.
