Wow. Honestly while I was enjoying the book I would say I wasn't completely blown away by it until the plot twist that happened about 80% in. I have never read the original book by Mark Twain so I can't say how accurate or faithful this retelling/re-imaging is but I was really invested in James story and all the "adventures" he got up to.
