(FAIR OAKS PRESS VERSION ONLY) Editing is everything. The Prometheus edition is ugly and the editing's choppy. Fair Oaks did an outstanding job with Twain's work. This book will turn you into a Twain lover if you aren't already. These are the journal entries of Adam and Eve when they first met, and they're hilarious. Adam grouses that Eve's always following him around, and Eve writes that he likes to rest a lot. He grumps about her naming all the animals, and says she's always looking at herself in the pond. I'm grinning now as I write this, thinking of how the story of their love unfolds so tenderly and so true-to-life. It's the most tender portrayal of the love relationship between a man and woman I've ever read. There's exasperation and bafflement and indulgence and attraction and hilarity---this book makes a terrific gift, a way of saying "I love you" to your honey.Read full review
Diary of Adam and Eve coupled with Mark Twain's humor says it all.
