five stars, ten stars, FIFTY stars!

the best readings of the best shorts of Twain's. thie readings have so much personally, character, pizzazz! I've listened and relistened and listened again. can't give enough praise.

the recording sounds just a little tinny tiny sorta kinda dated, but just so to give it vintage feel. doesn't degrade the listen. however there is a lot of base in all the vocals. I enjoy it (i am a bass player coincidentally), but I could see how it may bother some as it is exaggerated.

there's really are the best of his shorts. I have all his books, all his shorts available on audible, and I'm sure this is the best collection.

if you're just starting with twain this is the book you need. if you have others and aren't sure if you need it- you need it. discard all doubt and get this book!

fifty stars!
