Review # 1 was written on 2017-01-11 00:00:00 Chuck Bradford I was going to give this a two-star rating, but reading several of the other reviews, it's just clear to me that I didn't like the book that much. I don't think Twain's humor is that funny, rarely evokes a smile much less a laugh, and his writing is dull and wordy. I lose track of what he's trying to say and just can't get into the stories he presents. I don't see his appeal. As to this specific book, however, it is a very pretty book; I love every book in this series (Reader's Digest World's Best Reading). They're beautiful books!

Review # 2 was written on 2018-09-17 00:00:00 Michael Christian Twain's first. Satire and silliness, mocking priggish ideas about eg. good children, national heroes, and spiritualism.
