An encounter with Mark Twain,

By	Readers Favorite “Readers Favorite”

In 1986, the year of Halley’s comet, Reid, on his regular pre-dawn Key West beach stroll, stumbles across and elderly gentleman who verifiably proves to be the Mark Twain, white suit and all. Apparently, news of Twain’s demise, even after 75 years, has again been greatly exaggerated. Losing the wager they make, Reid lives up to his part of the bargain by providing Twain with room and board for the next 30 days.

Curious to see what has occurred since his last departure in 1910, Reid sets out to bring Twain up to date from political correctness to modern inventions with a whirlwind tour of live blues, a nude bar, an Indian reservation, past fields of Latino migrants, Epcot, Disneyworld and a return flight. All building toward an awe inspired packed audience to witness Twain’s final performance of commentary on today’s human condition in his typical wit, humor and wisdom

I’m not so sure j guevara hasn’t actually met Samuel Clemons, aka Mark Twain. Twain’s dialogue especially in his performance near the end of the book is realistic. I found The Twain Shall Meet, entertaining, humorous and a delightful read.

This is the first book I have read by author j guevara. I eagerly await his next book. J has that special something that few authors have. It is a special gift that you are either born with or not. Guevara was born with it. The characters are life-like and likable. The plot is interesting and has a message to it. The Twain Shall Meet is the type of book that compels you to reread. Well done Mr. j guevara!
