"These 2 books are the greatest books ever written of all time. Samuel Clements who used the pen name Mark Twain wrote about the time period he lived in. Both books were the most effective of any literary work I have ever read at transporting me to another time & place. I didn't simply read the exploits of the characters. I lived the adventures of Tom & Huck. The language and life of the time were used so some may be offended but they accurately portrayed the time period. "
