way darker than I suspected.

Twain easily keeps up with today's authors. this book was way better than I ever expected. I'm surprised that the subject matters, and descriptions.

Meh

Anything by Mark Twain is often hailed as a classic. That's why I chose to get this book.

Unfortunately, I haven't been able to appreciate Mark Twain's writing, and this book didn't change my opinion. There are some high points in the story, but most of it was a slog.
