Normally Mark Twain writes smart funny stories, but this story droned on and on. The Yankee complained about everything and everybody. It became so tedious that I finally stopped listening. I would have probably stopped reading several chapters previous.
The performer had a good voice. I believe he was reading it in the spirit of the book, but some how, I wonder how he was able to finish it.
Would I recommend it to a friend? Maybe with reservation. I think I would recommend it to some jaded person who loves political combat. I think, that could have been the spirit Mark Twain wrote it.
