"Also a book my Grandma recommended I read. I didn't love it, but I did enjoy the part where they travel with the Mormons and their perception of the Mormon people. Full of adventure!!"
"Mark Twain is one of my favorite authors. This book was very different as it is a variety of unfinished stories so they abruptly end and you just have to imagine the ending Mark Twain would have given it."
"This book was begun by Mark Twain, but about the last 3/4 of it were written by Lee Nelson. Nelson evidently made absolutely no attempt to mimic Twain's writing style or take the story where Twain was leading. It is awful. The only reason why I finished it was because I peeked at the ending and was mortified to see where he'd taken the three leading characters. I was incredulous as to how he could have reached that point so I read the book to find out how he got there. It was neither satisfying nor believable."
