Some of these stories I really enjoyed but most were just alright. The title story definitely stands out to me as well as the one about the wisteria. This would be a great collection to have read in school and been able to discuss each story in detail.

Forstår så absolut, at Gilmans mest kendte værk er The Yellow Wall-Paper, den var en 5 stjernet læseoplevelse!

I loved the yellow wallpaper its a classic. I wasn't overly fond of the other stories.

The title story deserves 5 stars. The rest of the stories, while occasionally humorous or thoughtful, are uninspired. I'd recommend reading The Yellow Wallpaper at least once (you'll find yourself wanting to read it two or three times) and skipping the rest.
