Summary
 Considered one of Twain's most important short works, The Mysterious Stranger tells the story of the devil coming to a medieval village in the persona of a beautiful, lovable, yet exasperatingly amoral young man. Befriending a small group of boys, Satan exhibits strange charm, compassion, and indifference as the tale comes to a surprising comclusion.©2006 Ascendant Audiobooks LLC (P)2006 Ascendant Audiobooks LLC Classics Fiction Genre Fiction Literary Fiction Literature & Fiction Satire Comedy

I absolutely loved this book and was intrigued the entire way through, the only issues I could bring up is that it there’s not any characters that I cared for besides maybe one, and the narrator can somewhat sound robotic is his samey way of reading but it wasn’t horrible whatsoever. Those flaws were easily made up for though with its interesting story, it really puts you in the shoes of a boy talking to Satan.

An eerie reminder of our humanity
