This review is from: The Diaries of Adam and Eve and Other Stories (Paperback)

This is one of the funniest studies on the differences in the ways that men and women see and think of the world.

Mark Twain is truly the greatest American writer and this is another one of his stories that shows why he is considered so.

It is set up like two diaries, one of Adam, and one of Eve. The brilliance comes in the different writing styles between the two: Adam is more logical and attempts to understand the world, and for the life of him cannot seem to get Eve and her actions, while Eve is running around naming things and does not understand why Adam seems so confused about everything that she does.

It just gets sillier and sillier as the stories go on, only to finally come ot a sweet and soft ending.

If you like this, also check out the Will Vinton claymation film "The Adventures of Mark Twain". They act out this story creatively.

These stories are written by Mark Twain and to me that is all that needs to be said. They are fun while at the same time somewhat serious.
