frasersimons 's review for:

The Mysterious Stranger by Mark Twain
3.0

As a vehicle that conveys a few ideological points of view in a range of subjects, it’s interesting, though sometimes contradictory and sometimes feels very random. When Satan is revealed it becomes a contrivance that shows its hand a little too much, engineered only to convey those things. There is no real plot so it doesn’t feel all that satisfying to read.
