Summary: Twain's travels through the southern hemisphere....
Review: "Following the Equator" is not the typical Mark Twain story. This is a travelogue written as he is traveling by boat through Hawaii, Fiji, New Zealand, Australia, India, and South Africa.In each location, Twain gives you his unique perspective and interpretation of each countries customs, population, and history. He even talks about life on the boat. Throughout the book is also illustrations and pictures to give the reader some background and/or enjoyment. This is not a book I would pick up to read unless you were familiar with Mark Twain's writing. I found his commentary and tales to be very funny. This is a pleasure to read by all Twain fans.

Summary: This book is the essence of Mark Twain.
Review: A highly entertaining read. Twain's classic storytelling and embellishing descriptions of people, places and events will make you laugh out loud! It is truly a sad day when you have reached the end of this book. Strongly recommended for readers worldwide.

Summary: Outstanding!

Summary: Interesting Book
Review: I did like this book, although I gave it only 3 stars as it is a little difficult to read. It certainly is a good literary work from Twain, but its not a "sit on the beach and read during vacation" book. It is more work to read, but definately something that when given the mood you should pursue. So I don't want to turn anyone off from this book, just be in the move for something a little different than most Twain material.

Summary: Mark Twain - Jimi Hendrix connection
Review: Jimi Hendrix and Mark Twain were both Sagittarians but here's another connection: There is a passage in "Following The Equator" where Twain describes the most thriling experience of his life as the time he was hurtling down a Himalayan mountainside on a small-gauge railcar through a "dreamy purple haze".
