The Diaries of Adam and Eve (Oxford Mark Twain)

Rating:
Summary: Great for the married couple
Review: I really didn't know what sort of theme this book would have. Turns out it was pretty much a diary of the "first married couple" It would be a good book for a first anniversary gift. It's not bad, definitely well written. It wouldn't be offensive to anyone who actually read it.

Summary: difference between a man and woman
Review: It's impressive how well Mark Twain describes difference between a man and woman. It's sometimes funny and often sentimental to love....

Rating:
Summary: a gift for honeymooners
Review: This abridged version has been a very good gift for newly married couples who would like something short and sentimental and a little thought-provoking to read while honeymooning. It provides the literary and emotional essentials of the longer edition. The editing, while at times abrupt, is smooth enough to make the story easy to follow.

This little book manages to evoke more passionate emotions, word for word, than anything else you'll find. You'll be confused, frustrated, awed, elated, broken, and hopeful as Adam and Eve (and Twain) pull you into their thoughts and interpretations of life. This is a great little valentine for your sweetheart or yourself, and has been appreciated by each of the several couples to whom I've given it, and treasured by some. One couple read it to one another as they drove across the country on their honeymoon. Another read it on a sunny tropical beach.

I recommend this version over the unabridged version for most gift recipients, as it's more likely to be read completely. ...And if you buy this wonderful book for wonderful friends, you don't want them to miss the end!
