Two stories for the Sawyer/Finn fanatics. 'Abroad' is a satire of the science fiction adventure stories of the time. It reads today like proto-steampunk. A weak and ridiculous story which has some great interplay between the three characters. 'Detective' has more of a story, such as it is, but suffers by the absence of Jim. ( )
Delightful. I love how these two stories take place after Huck and Tom save Jim, and that the first story includes Jim, and how they're narrated by Huck, and how Tom isn't as annoying in these as he is in the first two, more famous, books. Funny quick reads for all ages. One of the recurring jokes (for example) in the first was how Huck and Jim would not believe Tom when he tried to explain things like Time Zones and Mirages, but were perfectly credulous when Tom pointed out the very hill in the Sahara that was the location of one of the stories in [b:The Arabian Nights: Tales from a Thousand and One Nights|93101|The Arabian Nights Tales from a Thousand and One Nights|Anonymous|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1320518022s/93101.jpg|859375]. One of the strengths of the second is that the reader could, possibly, solve the mystery while Tom is studying on it. Both include plenty of social satire, as one expects from the author. ( )
Encore appearances by Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn in two minor novellas by Mark Twain. The first involves a rather improbable trip abroad on an airship and consists mainly of a series of adventurous exploits. The second is a bit of detective work by Tom Sawyer involving murder and mistaken identity. Both are fun and excellent, but certainly not major works by Twain. ( )
