so-soThis book is hard to rank because parts of it are wonderful, very engaging, and deeply moving. However, Samuel Clemens knew that this would only be published after he died so he took no care in editing the content. This book brings out his raw person throughout the ups and downs of his life. Ultimately, I‘d say it‘s great if you‘re a Mark Twain fan, not great if you‘re looking for a gripping classic.

so-soThe forward warns that the book is barely edited as it was published posthumously. This was to keep it close to Twain's actually state of mind. The book is very informative. However, listening to the audio book was mind numbing. Mark Twain's stream of conscious writing gives the reader detailed descriptions of the minute details of breakfast, without substance. A must read for Twain enthusiasts, but a pass for the casual Twain reader.
For all the holiday traffic!
pickOne of the most humorous, and at times, heartbreaking, book I've ever read. It's amazing- even more so if you're familiar with Twain's work. I'm going to buy it in hard cover as soon as I get a little more book money.
"A man who goes around with a prophesy-gun ought never to get discouraged. If he will keep up his heart and fire at everything he sees he is bound to hit something by and by."
Twain's opinion on health. 😄
