It's been years since I read Twain (Huckleberry Finn) but I find him a delightful author. This book struck a particularly fun chord for me because I often think about this topic: If I got thrown back in time with no resources but my memory, could I reinvent the industrial revolution? The MC totally does, or would have if he hadn't pissed off literally everyone. I identified SO HARD with this book. The MC running around going, "Well, that makes little to no sense!" or the following exchange.
MC: "Ya'll need a bath."
Peasants: "The last time we bathed the water dried up so God must want us dirty."
MC: "lol, no-kay. Where's the well?" *looks at it* "Yep, God just said you were dumbasses, that's all." *fixes well*
Peasants: "Wow MC! You're a wizard."
MC: "Yeaaaaaa...."
This was a great, snarky book and I loved it. Perhaps my only negative is the random dying of MC for no reason a-la nineteenth century at the end. But, eh, the actual story was told nicely.
