review 1: Mark Twain left many manuscripts with instructions to not publish until 70 years after his death. Some of those manuscripts have recently been published in this book. The comments are as appropriate for today as they were 100 years ago. Some of his remarks had me laughing out loud, which caused others to ask what was so funny.... then they would write down the name of the book to get a copy. I hope more of these short pieces are published.
review 2: For Twain fans, I'd check out, but I didn't especially find it one of my favorites. The items in here are hit and miss, but the last piece ends the collection well, and there were the usual instances of brilliance that made the entire time spent with the book during the lesser parts worth it, which is the case
... morewith many of his works. However, for the uninitiated to Twain's works, I'd start with another book. less

Gotta love his irreverent tone (also he hates Jane Austen as much as I do).

Love his essay on Jane Austen. Very funny book as a whole.
