"What an interesting person Twain was. From his beginnings in Virginia City to his life after his wife died, he was so dramatically radical. He was ultra-moralistic while also quite inable to be self-aware of his own faults until too late. This was the biography I enjoyed the most from Chernow. It is interesting to consider Twain as the first American celebrity, forming the basis for its place in our current society."

"Some parts are truly amazing, other parts are disappointing. Sheikh's first description of Jesus is truly beautiful."

"This was a pretty good telling of the Comanche people ending with the last chief and transition-ary figure Quantah Parker. Hope the movie is half as good."
