Review of 'Roughing it' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

Absolutely adored this book. It was hilarious, really. Laugh out loud funny. Amazing to hear how people really haven't changed in any meaningful way since more than a hundred and fifty years ago. I loved Twain's wry sense of humor about everything and the way in which he really captures the essence of country folk, like the folk I grew up around. Just, fantastic. Really enjoyed the audiobook narrated by Grover Gardner.

Do yourself a favor and read or listen to this book. It will give you many chuckles and you may find yourself recognizing these people from so many years ago as still the same people you see in the world everyday today. I especially enjoyed the chapters that focused on the Mormons. Excellent fodder for laughs.
