Mark Twain, in his funny, free-flowing narrative, tells the story of the first man and woman through excerpts of their diaries. When first reading this, I did not enjoy it as it strongly varies from the biblical account and Adam's and Eve's relationship starts off rocky. However, after researched I came to find that this is a story of Twain and his wife and their relationship that knowledge adds a tender and romantic aspect to these diaries and increased my fondness.

Mark Twain is always a tremendous storyteller.

"At first I couldn't make out what I was made for, but now I think it was to search out the secrets of this wonderful world and be happy and thank the Giver of it all for devising it."

I requested this book form the library over six months ago when I was studying Paradise Lost. Maybe the wait increased my expectations. I liked it, but I expected something more enlightening. It was a short, fun little diary and I did enjoy some the humor, but it left me wanting more depth and insight.

Me he reído mucho con la parte de Adán; con la de Eva me he quedado con un sabor más reflexivo y triste.
