Publisher's Summary:
O. Henry was the pen name of William Sydney Porter (1862-1910), an American writer of outstanding short stories known for their wit, wordplay, warm characterisation, and surprise endings.
'Roads of Destiny' is an intriguing story about a young would-be poet, David, who is running away from home after a quarrel with his beloved. He reaches a crossroads - but which road will he take? O. Henry treats us to a journey with him down each of the possible routes - and with each he encounters a gripping adventure.
Only once we have heard the third part of the tale do we finally understand what David's destiny really is.

O Henry simultaneously delights and punishes his readers while leading them through a myriad of details and emotions using the most complexificated verbiage possible. His stories are complex and timeless; settings richly detailed and is a master wordsmith. This book is definitely going in my read and re-read stack.
Five Stars
Good sampling of O. Henry's works. Good for occasional reading or from start until finish.
A bit different than standard O. Henry
I expected this to be like the short story, but it's a bit different. It goes through a mans choices and shows that no matter what he would choose, his destiny would be the same.
a keeper
I had only ever read one or two of his stories in high school - I enjoyed the range and the twists.
The One Review, To rule the ALL!
If you've ever regretted making a choice thinking that you're life would have been different, then this is the story for you! O Henry's unique style of writing will introduce you to story filled of mystery, suspense and of course a decision. A decision which will lead a certain main character to three roads of which he must choose from.
Three Roads.
Three ways.
Three outcomes.
Now what's alluring about this story is that all three outcomes are shared. And curiously enough they end up having crazy, yet shocking endings. This book will definitely make you think twice about all the decisions you've made in the past. We may think the decisions me make will make a huge difference in our future, yet this story adds a certain twist to the phrase "life changing decisions". What if those "life changing decisions" we make are worth nothing, because ultimately we all have the same outcome? Would that change the way you make your decisions from now on? These are some questions that left me speechless with doubt. I loved the way this book made me think. It was wonderful! O Henry's morbid style of writing and wry outcomes will insure you and definite good read!
