Summary: really fun read, but careful with kids
Review: This book is a treasure. Twain's story-telling is laced with subtle humor recounting his meandering journey (as in no great hurry to get to a particular destination) around the world. I suggest you read this book in small doses, kind of like a daily conversation with a [really interesting] neighbor where stories are exchanged. I often read stories from this book to my children (ages 8 & 6) at bedtime. Clearly written in another era, Twain's sense of humor cracks me up, but some comments would today be considered politically incorrect so I make some real-time "adjustments" when reading it to the kids.I credit Jimmy Buffett with pointing me to this book through a reference on a CD although I don't share the opinion that Buffett's book is in the same league. As cited earlier, you can open this book anywhere, just read a chapter and it makes sense. My copy has no bookmark in it. We just hop around. Twain takes us places we've never been. Great book.

Summary: THE Travelog for those who travel, or dream of travelling!
Review: This book is Da Bomb! If you have any imagination at all, you will revel in the splendors of Mark Twain's globe-trotting true-life adventures as he humorously observes humankind of the 19th century and brings it to life here in the 21st century. Pssst! The paperback is the best buy. Steer clear of the hardback version, it is overpriced and a big disappointment. A definite collector's item for Twainers.

Summary: Follow this...
Review: This isn't your typical Mark Twain book. In journal style Twain takes you along with him as he circumnavigates the world. He not only shares experiences he had but includes what he learned of the differint contries cultures, customs, and people. Very educational. You will see the world through Mark Twains eyes. Pay attention to catch the hidden humor. Another great peice by Mark Twain.

Summary: Perhaps his greatest
Review: Twain's chronicle of a steamship trip to the subcontinent and beyond is incomparable. If nothing else, anyone would enjoy Puddinhead Wilson's maxims at the beginning of each chapter, all classics that hold up a century after they were written. No Twain fan should skip this one--and I suspect few have.
