Autobiography of Mark Twain review



Mark Twain is the king of suspense, keeping us expecting for a century in order to reveal memories of his life. The rumours of his demise became accurate 100 years ago and one of Mark Twain's dying wishes comes to live: an extended, forthright and prophetic autobiography which he committed the last 10 years of his life to composing is finally here. UC Press is gallant to propose for the first time Mark Twain's uncensored autobiography in its totality and incisively as he left it.This major well-written event is just like a gift to the lecturers, supporters, and students. The book is the first of three volumes and introduces Mark Twain's authentic and uninhibited voice, full with humor, ideas, and beliefs, and speaking intelligibly from the grave as he designated.

Decision Points by George W. Bush





Let me keep this straight to the point and simple: this book is fascinating, down-to-earth. Appealing at certain turns and wildly unbelievable at others. The surprise is coming near the end: Decision Points is well-written and it's a pleasant reading.



This autobiography is centered around “the most consequential decisions” of his administration and his personal life from his determination to abandon drinking in 1986 to his decision to invade Iraq in 2003 to his decisions regarding the financial crisis of 2008. It's a book can bee seen as a twist, part asking for forgiveness to the world, part family scrapbook, part self-conscious attempt to rewrite his political legacy.
