A humorist, narrator, and social observer, Mark Twain is unsurpassed in American literature. Best known as the author of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Mark Twain, not unlike his protagonist, Huck, has a restless spirit. He found adventure prospecting for silver in Nevada, navigating steamboats down the Mississippi, and making people laugh around the world. But Twain also had a serious streak and decried racism and injustice. His fascinating life is captured candidly in this enjoyable biography.

I rate this book a 3 star because this book talks about how Mark Twain became famous. I made a connection to Mark Twain because he always liked being alone near the Mississippi River and I like being alone for most of my time. Best known as the author of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Mark Twain, not unlike his protagonist, Huck, has a restless spirit. He found adventure prospecting for silver in Nevada, navigating steamboats down the Mississippi, and making people laugh around the world. There is my summary of this book and my review!

Of course I didn't like this book since I don't like non-fiction but you do learn about how Mark Twain worked on a steamboat overall I really liked it but it was boring the illustrations should have color in them.
