Query: Poorly written -- makes you hate them all

This book has nine tales, but Osborne has written every story in the exact same manner. Am I reading a tale about Davy Crocket or Pecos Bill? Hard to tell, because the style of every tale is mind-numbingly identical. Hard to believe that someone could make tales about Johnny Appleseed and John Henry boring.And the fake American Tall Tale called "Sally Ann" that Osborne invented (apparently to have a female tale for the feminists) is junk -- basically identical to Davy Crocket with only the name changed.
