An intriguing and interesting take on Mark Twain's story. Doesn't stray too far from the feel of the original and brings plenty of new parts to keep it entertaining. 

I did feel that the last third was incredibly rushed and the last couple of chapters made for a very abrupt ending. 

The main character didn't go through much of a transformation for me for it to leave a lasting impression. 

The writing was brilliantly done though and I'll definitely check out the author's other works.
