5.0 out of 5 stars Charming and humorous, 25 Feb 2001
I can't believe no one has reviewed this book yet! How could all of you pass over Runyon's distinctive style, language and character sketches? These have become such an integral part of our culture that they are now portrayed as caricatures. Runyon tells us, in this collection of short stories, about the various shady characters that inhibited Broadway in the beginning of the (20th) century, during prohibition, amongst which are gamblers, gangsters, bookies, and Damon Runyon himself, who plays a minor role in every story (he is also the storyteller). Some stories have a surprise ending, some don't; some of the surprise endings are surprising, some aren't; but I didn't care, because what addicts you to this collection of short stories is the humor and grace with which Runyon tells these stories, the kind that makes you feel like you've said goodbye to an old friend when you turn over the last page.
