### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent
*by G***D on December 16, 2009*

This is the audiobook edition of a collection of dispatches that Mark Twain wrote, as a newspaper correspondent, to the Sacramento Daily Union in 1866 during his 7-month sojourn in Hawaii. Mark Twain impressionist McAvoy Layne very ably does the reading for the audiobook edition, bringing Mark Twain's written narrative to life.Letters from Hawaii provides a fascinating look at 19th century Hawaii -- the people, royalty, customs, culture, neighborhoods, infrastructure, commerce, government, volcanos, valleys, beaches, sea -- as well as a sprinkling of Mark Twain's inimitable humor. History buffs and Hawaiiana buffs will find Twain's first-hand, boots-on-the-ground observations of 19th century Hawaii uniquely satisfying.I found almost every dispatch riveting. One that comes to mind now as I write this mini review is Mark Twain's account of his visit to the active volcano, Kilauea, on the Big Island, which he viewed both during the daytime and at night. In addition to Twain's powerful visual imagery describing the lava flows, he also interestingly describes the sounds of the volcano. "It makes three distinct sounds - a rushing, a hissing, and a coughing or puffing sound; and if you stand on the brink and close your eyes it is no trick at all to imagine that you are sweeping down a river on a large low pressure steamer, and that you hear the hissing of the steam about her boilers, the puffing from her escape pipes and the churning rush of the water abaft her wheels. The smell of sulfur is strong, but not unpleasant to a sinner."Whether you are a Mark Twain buff, history buff, travel story buff, kama'aina or a malihini, chances are you will find this book enjoyable.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Loving "Mark Twain's Letters from Hawaii"
*by J***T on January 21, 2013*

I'm a "late" college graduate who completed my English degree in 2010 during my 70th year of life. I read this rendition of Twain's reaction to 1866 Hawaii for a class in Hawaiiana. Being born and raised an "island girl" I was eager to see if he would capture the sensitivity and lifestyle of the Hawaiian people as he had with his "on spot" descriptions of characters in his many other writings. I was not disappointed. You see, living on an island dictates a particular way to live for its citizens having the major land mass 2,500 miles away. Your word is good as gold, your share with each other and do not rape precious resources (fish, seaweed, land), color of your skin means nothing except for the goodness in your heart. Being humble, tolerant, gracious, and respectful is what is needed when you live in the close confines of an island. In1866 Twain with his senitive awareness recognized this and writes beautifully about it.I have sent Mark Twain's Letters from Hawaii to several of my mainland friends and am sure there will be more sent in the future.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Informative reading for the visitor to Hawaii
*by D***I on October 25, 2010*

Written in 1866, at the front end of his career, these letters provide a nice overview of Twain's talents. There are the obligatory humorous stories, but there are also perceptive descriptions of the Hawaian economy that foreshadow "Life on the Mississippi," itself a precursor of "Huckleberry Finn." Other letters deal with the Hawaiian scenery at the time and its mode of government, in most ways similar to state politics in California. If you're planning on a trip to Hawaii, especially to Oahu, reading this book will enrich your visit. Even if you're not, you'll have the pleasure of viewing a fine mind at work.
