zkendall 's review for:
A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court
by Mark Twain
I'm not sure I guffawed or even laughed once in this book, but I did really enjoy it. (That's about the same mellow reception I had for Pudd'nhead Wilson.) The book satirizes society and psychology of religion, politics, romanticized chivalry, gullibility, mysticism, etc.
It is pretty clear what the book was doing, but it didn't take away from the enjoyment at all. Twain did a great job having a story set up that facilitated such commentary and provided it in generally small doses that fit with the story. Heinlein should have learned from Twain in this respect.
