Mark Twain Audio CD Collection

Loved listening to this. Made me laugh out loud at times and took me back to another era.

This is a good collection of Twain's work. Enjoyed the short stories. I got this for my reading mother, who no longer can see well enough to read. She listened twice.

Loved the snippets from several stories and the narrators. Such a great variety. Left me wanting more.

I am not sure what I was expecting from this collection, but I listened to it with mixed feelings. The opening CD dealing with Life on the Mississippi was probably the dullest listening. It was fun to hear the material read by Will Gere and Walter Brennan. Some of the language is dated and some of the humor is slow developing, but other times the Twain's clever language made me laugh out loud. It was an OK addition to my collection.

Nice tape for long trips.

Many well-known narrators

The stories were not interesting to me, very boring and drawn out. Nothing like his famous works.

Nothing beats Mark Twain. He was the consummate story-teller. His choice of words alone can expand your vocabulary, if nothing else. Twain was one of America's greatest writers because he wrote about his life-experiences in a vernacular that gives us insight to his era.
