Title: Not up to the subject
Product review: I read about 200 pages of this, and quit when I realized that what was most interesting about the book was trying to figure out how the author managed to make Mark Twain, of all people, seem so tedious. The reader is often told how funny Twain was, but rarely given an example. The relationship of detail to big picture is shaky and inconstant. Get this from a library and skim it, but spend your time and money on Twain's own writings.
