The Prince and the Pauper

A notable historical classic to read, though a bit tedious at times with sense of humour that was almost absurd, it was amusing but I felt like Twain sacrificed his character's -mostly the Prince's- integrity for the plot, making their actions illogical and totally contradictory in two similar situations.
"The world is make wrong; kings should go to school to their own laws, at times, and so learn mercy."

I have read only Tom Sawyer from Twain and even so, I read it too many times when I was bored and has little to read. So now I avoid the author.

Haven't read that book yet. I love The Adventure of Huckleberry Finn though. He's very different kid from Tom who popped up in last chapters of the book, I remember found him very annoying, which thwarted me from reading the Adventure of TS. It's still a dilemma though, I kind of adore Mark Twain's intellect.
Huckleberry Finn's story has more contractions than a woman in labour. That put me off.
