John Greenman, you are a wonderful person to listen to, especially to Mark Twain. I love looking at this world through the eyes of this great American treasure, namely Mark Twain.
Excellent stories, superb reader

I'm big fan of Mr Clemens and I really enjoyed this work, although the latter chapters didn't hold me as much. The reader has a voice that sounds like I imagine Mark Twain might if reading this himself. I'll listen to this one again....
It's no wonder that Kaiser Wilhelm enjoyed this so much

Absolutely fascinating history of the Mississippi and the communities along it. Loved the stories about learning to be and about being a steam boat pilot. Fantastic reading too. Thanks for the hours the narrator has put into recording this. Really appreciated.

The perfect reader. I've realised since listening to John Greenman read Mark Twain's books, that not only do I love Mark Twain's books, but that John Greenman is the perfect reader. He knows the books SO well that all his readings are faultless. You bring the books to life, thanks John :)
Typical Mark Twain

A fun look into the colorful past of what life on the mighty Mississippi was like in typical Mark Twain style. Mr. Greenman did an exceptional job of reading, as usual; you felt as if Samuel Clemens was reading it himself. I highly recommend this book.

I started listening to this book because it was a Wall Street Journal book club selection. Being from Louisiana, I very much enjoyed Twain's descriptions of the lower Mississippi. I was VERY pleasantly surprised by the quality of the narration.
