    Much appreciated. I believe when I reach a point where I'll learn a man the river, I'll do as my captain has done to me and have them read this book. It makes you thankful for all the navigational aids we have today.

    I read Huckleberyy Finn around the age of 10 back in to my bedroom in Manchester UK. To my shame 50 years have gone by without tuching any more of Twain's work. Your narration is brilliant and brings this story from who I now realise is a literary giant to life. Thanks

    The Narrator's voice has ADDED to my EXPERIENCE of this read of the "JOURNAL" .

    One of his attributes that I admire is his healthy distrust of "experts"! Groucho wrote and sang a song with the line "whatever it is, I'm against it"!!!!

    If I were to meet mister twain I would have to apologize and tell him that john sounds more like him than he does.

    This made me wonder for the first time about the excitement if the continent had been settled west to east.
    The Mississippi would have opened the Atlantic to them

    "I was gratified to be able to answer promptly, and I did. I said I didn't know." Classic Twain understatement.

    Am I the only one who didn’t know that Samuel Langhorne Clemens took his pen name from the steamboat lingo heard herein? As in the ledding call-out: half-twain, quarter-twain, mark-twain.

      Hardly!!! You are probably young!!! It's not really important!!! What is important is that you are entertained by one of the greatest writers of the English speaking world!! Lucky you...lucky me!

    Whenever the mind wonders, I have to remind myself I’m not listening to A Confederacy of Dunces. One of my favourite books, and now I think I know where JKT got some inspiration for his masterpiece

    Not a bad book but there is a serious lack of transgender representation in it. Twain was obviously transphobic.😠 Do better 😤

      Hardly. There are many men dressed as women in Twain novels. This is non-fiction.
