Having read the bulk of his books I am pretty much already a tried and true fan of Holy Ghost Writer. Having said that I'm an even bigger fan of Mark Twain and Huck Finn in particular. Needless to say even I, already knowing from the onset that Holy Ghost Writer is a very talented writer, felt a mite bit of trepidation going into this one. Huck Finn, beyond just a good (actually make that GREAT) book, is also a piece of my childhood. Thus ANYONE touching it, no matter how extraordinarily gifted, has a pretty high bar to reach. I should have had more faith, with his usual wit, intelligence, and not a small amount of flair HGW spun a tale that remained engaging, captivating, smart and savvy all-in-one. In fact, I daresay that Samuel Clemens himself would have gotten a kick out of this.Well worth the price - I definitely recommend it!
