A Connecticut Yankee In King Arthur's Court: Enriched Classic

by Mark Twain

[Amber (The Literary Phoenix)]

Firstly, I really want to say that I liked this book. I didn't read a lot of Mark Twain when I was younger, and I wish I had, because I find his writing style to be very tongue-in-cheek and it amuses me. That said, even with the time lapse between now and when this book was written, it's still very applicable in that it gives you something to think about even if the technology is out of date. It may be perceived by some as a little bit sexist, but I really liked the narrator's conversations with Sandy, particularly when he was questing. Twain has a way of being so incredibly blunt about his thoughts, that it isn't even so much offensive as it will make you laugh out loud from surprise.

All this said, as it was my first time visiting this book, I read it for entertainment value. I would very much like to visit a hardcopy version of this book as opposed to the audiobook so I can look a little bit more into the ideals, as I'm sure he meant a little bit more than to entertain me in the writing of this book. Definitely would recommend it!
