Summary: a half-hearted attempt for an american classic
Review: the graphics are weak, using book illustrations to illustrate much of the narrative, they didn't even pick a wide variety, nor the best, but instead we see some of the same sub-standard illustrations over & over. The voice of "Mark Twain" sounds like a geriatric Forrest Gump. And the explanations of his life and decisions are superficial, glossing over the deep contradictions of this intelligent and tormented genius. Still, the interviews with Twain scholars are informative, and one's appetite is whetted to learn more of the this influential american classic.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A Half Way Decent Biography
Review: This was an excellent video if you are new to Mr.Twain and his grand works . It just slightly skimmed the surface of his life . It pointed out the basic , and most important information . But it was still an excellently made video . This is a good choice for younger , or new Mark Twain readers . I do reccomend it , but not to everyone .
