From Goodreads
Mark Twain is probably my second favorite American author. (My favorite is Vonnegut, but only slightly). Pudd'nhead Wilson is a fearless lampooning of Twain's culture that is so thorough it takes a moment to unpack it all. As social commentary it is biting, pithy and unfazed by the uproar it might cause. As a story it builds well to the conclusion you know is coming; yet, there are enough elements of surprise that keep you interested. It sprawls a bit more than I expected for such a short novel, which I like. I would recommend this to anyone and everyone
