challenging reflective sad slow-paced

Absolutely massive, somewhat exhausting to read. Less interested in Twain's actual literary works than in his long semi-retirement, which he seems to have used to make his daughters miserable and to attach himself to teenage girls who provided the uncritical adulation he craved. I will never forgive him for throwing away his wife's nest egg on a series of get-rich-quick schemes.
