Tomorrow I will be taking a 36 hour train journey from Guangzhou to Harbin so plenty of reading time, though I am taking many books with me. Hopefully I will get this read and released somewhere in north China during the next week. It has been on the shelf neglected for too long.
Started off good as I liked the descriptions of the river. I did not enjoy it so much when the chapter from Huck Fin was included; it has put me off wanting to read it.
Getting back to this book, I found the commentary of life on the river and the training how to be a pilot very entertaining; Twains dry sense of humour comes across.
Through the long time span, Twain revisits, we et to see how life on the river, and the river itself changes. The book is an example of how nothing is forever, even the mighty (the power and prestige of the pilots) will fall eventually...time and technology moves on.
