A review by lindencat
Roughing It by Mark Twain
2.0
There are books out there where you never want them to end. This is not one of those books.
I may be biased, since ol' Sam Clemens is not my favourite author but wow, was it ever a struggle to get through this one. The only reason I gave it 2 stars and not 1 is because I did enjoy learning about the historical context of the time and what others might have been experiencing during a time in America where so much was being (re)discovered. However, between his endless rambling and general asshole energy, I just didn't enjoy this one at all.
And yes, I know that it was typical of the time period, but if I heard (listened to this one on Audible) one more racial slur, I was seriously gonna lose my mind
