A review by laydownyoursoul
The Mysterious Stranger by Mark Twain

4.0

Great story, very entertaining and some interesting commentary. Made me remember how great of a writer the author is, and realise how influential he was to authors that came after. Pretty funny moments too, and the character of Satan (named after his rich uncle who's away working in 'the tropics') was great.
Liked the ending and the ambiguity.
Always interesting reading older narratives that are looking back in time to things like witch trials. Story felt cohesive despite apparently being put together from several unfinished manuscripts.
