  <default_description>In &lt;B&gt;The Diary of Adam and Eve,&lt;/B&gt; master storyteller Mark Twain hilariously recreates the very first days of Creation. Adam, portrayed by Twain as something of a recluse, is a man ill&amp;#8211;prepared for the arrival of Eve, a talkative, emotional, highly charged female. Yet, in time, and after many a conflict, they gradually learn to live together, realizing that men and women can, in fact, exist in harmony. It is presented here with six additional pieces creating a unique omnibus of Twain&amp;#8217;s Adamic tales.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[This book was amazing. Mark Twain took the oldest story known to man and gave it a new twist without being completely blasphemous. I loved every second I spent in the reading of this novel! (trivia for Twain lovers: it is the only book where he writes with a feminine point of view). The closing stat...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/50252836">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Ended up reading a couple of e-text versions; am still not sure I got the whole collection... then again, considering the format, I suppose it's supposed to feel incomplete. <br/><br/>Not surprisingly, I identified more with Eve, who sees herself as a &quot;grand experiment&quot;, exploring and re...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/18090766">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I read this last night; it was quite short and very easy to read.  I felt at first that it was pretty sexist, but the more I read, the more I felt that Twain must have loved his wife.  By the end, I felt that essentially what the book was:  a tribute to women.  It made me smile as I thought of how m...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/71336889">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I'm addicted to the wit and brilliant characters of Twain.  This book was a really disappointment from those perspectives.  I imagine that in its time it was a clever new perspective, and rather scandalous look at Christian mythology, but that makes it rather dated, and the read is a slow and somewh...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/72713576">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I read this last year, thinking I would choose it for book club. I liked it and it was very funny, I loved the last line of the book, but I can't say that I loved the entire book because, in my opinion, it gets slightly too close to mockery. All said and done, I chose a different book for book club....<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/58559823">more...</a>]]></body>
