Best Part About This Book: Twain’s willingness to play with absurdity; he is not afraid to let his character be capable of things that he really ought not to be capable of to better the story

Best Part About this Book: Out of all my cookbooks, I enjoy this one because it provides recipes for some of the most basic foods, like French toast.
