"I felt inexpressibly relieved to know that I had only been listening to the harmless vagaries of a madman instead of the genuine experiences of a bloodthirsty cannibal."
Gosh darn it, Twain is brilliant. His satire and his sense of humor are timeless, but jeez, I had no idea he could get so dark. Either way, I love it. Cynicism, irony, and the bucking of convention are all my jam, and Twain seems to fit those tastes to a tee.
The only thing I can really complain about in this one was the way the politicking can drone on and become monotonous, but that's kind of the point, so it's just a minor niggle.
Well worth reading.
⭐⭐⭐⭐
