review 1: Funniest essay I have ever read. Wasn't one of the assigned essays from a collection bought for some long-since-forgotten class, but well worth having lugged the volume from home to home all these years! I read this essay first some forty years ago, and I pull it out anytime I need to dissolve into laughter. Just finished reading Last of the Mohicans; how could Twain's scathing review have made me enjoy that book more? Dunno, but it did.
review 2: Most scathing long review ever. It's funny, although Natasha wasn't impressed that I kept reading bits aloud. They weren't jokes.As a review it's kind of frustrating though. Hard to attach Twain's writing to specific places in Cooper's, because he takes everything out of context. I've no doubt that the sailing is al... morel wrong, and possibly every other word, but it's hard to figure out the problems based only on Twain's review. less
