amyegbert 's review for:
Joan of Arc
by Mark Twain
Some big takeaways
*chapter titles used to be much more useful and I'd like to bring them back.
*unapologetically biased stories of famous historical figures are kindof nice, embrace the bias I say!
*Joan of Arc was either remarkable or totally crazy. For me the over-the-top deep admiration for her combined with her extreme claims of divine guidance almost felt like sarcasm or mockery.
*I listened. Certainly too fast. So maybe my opinion isn't really valid. I wasn't swept up in the miracle that is Joan. I just kept thinking "this would not fly today" which is an unfair and unreasonable measure for whether or not a book or persons story is good. But I only felt "meh" about this one.
