It is pretty well guaranteed that any particular reader will find items in the collection that they feel don't belong there; they don't see the wit, or find it simply ordinary. Still, it was an enjoyable collection, and a quick read. Most of the quotes were familiar, but there were some I didn't recognize. It would have been a better book if it included an attribution of where Twain wrote, or said, it. ( ) This slim volume of Mark Twain quotes was published in 1961, judging by the date on the copyright page. (I bought it at a library sale.) Twain's reputation for wit is unquestionably well-deserved, and a lot of the quotes here are wonderfully funny, or biting, or insightful, or all of the above. I can't help thinking, though, that pulling all his best lines out of context probably doesn't really do the man or his writing a great service, and there are more than a few of them that I suspect would have worked better if encountered where he originally put them. The book also features some generic, cartoony illustrations, which don't really add very much. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
