A review by gemtea2000
The Mysterious Stranger by Mark Twain

5.0

I recently read about a few of Twain's lesser known works and this was one he wrote late in life and he is not just cynical but probably bitter when he wrote this. I thought his humor was at it's peak and Twain has always been hard on man and religion but he really gives you a double barreled literary blast with this short novel.

If you are religious and easily offended, stay away but I found Satan and his young wowed friends an absolute delight. Satan has never been described better. It's not subtle; this ain't The Screwtape letters but it was a hell of a ride!
