"The more one looks at Mark Twain, the more one appreciates his entire contribution to literature. The great modern observers of humanity (e.g., Vonnegut) never exceed Twain's irreverent and withering observations. Twain's great disappointment in his fellow man and his own personal tragedies led him to pen this biting work that would unfortunately not be published until long after his death."

"I was at first offended by the statements about heaven and God, but after I got through the first three chapters (Letters from the Earth, the Adam Papers, and Letter to the Earth), I stopped taking the book so seriously and actually found some funny things in it. Had it not been for a book group discussion, though, I probably wouldn't have ever gotten through it."

"Dad's mom, Lajla, was quite the hostess, a socialite of sorts, always entertaining, always pleasant and agreeable. She affected a British accent, probably thinking it educated. Alone with children, however, the accent dropped and, as I got older, I had the fortune of occasionally having serious conversation with her, though never, ever challenging her public affectations. It was enough to know, and feel privileged to know, that there was a person in there under the cold cream, looking out from under the pencilled-in eyebrows.

Lajla was quite the reader, her home with Christian, her second husband, being well-equipped with books, many of them sets and fine editions of the classics. Some of these books migrated with her to her cottage in Michigan where she'd spend a month every summer with Mom, me and, when he came along, little brother Fin--Chris and Dad comeing up from work on the weekends. There being no library in the closest town, Bridgman, at that time, and me having little or no money, I read quite a few of them over the years.

Letters from the Earth may have been my first reading of Twain, though I'd certainly heard of him and may well have read versions of Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer previously. It was certainly an odd place to start, but it worked. The cover promised scandal and controversy and that is what the contents provided. Having been brought up more or less as an atheist, but painfully self-conscious about being in a minority in that regard, his irreverance was liberating--and very, very funny."

By Beth, The United States

"This would get 5 starts just for the title track, and the other material is also worth reading, although not quite the masterpiece that Letters from the Earth is.

Twain in all his irreverent glory. The "Letters" are from Satan, who is on Earth reporting on the Human Race Experiment. Poor Satan has many things to be puzzled about. Twain is clearly not trying to behave in this one, not even a little bit. It's completely hilarious and many people will be able to rake offense. Highly reccommended."
