Title: What do you believe?
Product review: Reviews of this work seem to split. Some call it a quite boring book, expecting perhaps something more akin to Twain's more famous writing. Others consider it excellent storytelling and a tribute to the famous saint and symbol. The 800 pound gorilla on the couch that no one seems to mention, however, is the religious nature of the narrative. Do you or do you not accept that Joan was visited and guided by angels? If you do, then the story holds together wonderfully as a tribute to the purity of spirit of Joan. If you don't accept the angelic visions and visitations, the story comes off as an unbelievable fawning over the young woman. In other words, what you make of the book may largely depend on what you bring to it. Twain's characteristic humor and irony come through in a few careful places, showing the unmistakeable skill and intelligence of the author. While wonderfully writtena and excellent storytelling, this is a very different read than most of Twain's other work.
