Fantastic. I had read this once before, some nine or ten years ago, for an American Literature class in college. I remembered loving it then, and that the story, a courtroom drama at the end, made early extensive use of fingerprinting as litigious proof. Reading it again now was a real treat. The "Author's Note" that serves as coda includes a particularly hilarious passage about killing off character after character by tossing them down a well, and how that becomes problematic. Throughout, the epigrams from the "Pudd'nhead Wilson calendar" that head each chapter are also great, and the source of endlessly quotable Twain witticism, to be sure. Highly recommended for anyone and everyone (and another book finished in under 24 hours!).
