Listen up, folks! Get ready to embark on a lively journey through the enchanting world of old Honolulu, the majestic island nobility, the mesmerizing City of Refuge on the Kona coast, and the fiery volcano of Kilauea. And who better to guide us through this vibrant tapestry of tales than the one and only Mark Twain, the Huck Finn of foreign correspondents?
In this audiobook, narrated by the talented McAvoy Layne, Twain's newspaper dispatches come to life, immersing the listener in a world that is both captivating and educational. With his signature wit and humor, Twain takes us on a captivating ride, revealing the secrets and wonders of the "loveliest fleet of islands that lie anchored in any ocean."
Prepare to be transported to a bygone era as Layne, with his artful delivery, conjures up vivid images of a time long past. With each word, he paints a picture that transports us to the Hawaiian paradise, where tales of the past intertwine with the beauty of the present.
But listen closely, my friends, for this audiobook is a mixed bag. While the tales themselves are a delight, the overall experience falls slightly short. With a rating of 2.7 out of 5, it may not be the masterpiece we had hoped for. Nonetheless, with a length of 3 hours and 8 minutes, it is a journey worth taking.
So sit back, relax, and let the voice of McAvoy Layne guide you through the enchanting stories that await. Let us journey together through the eyes of the enchanting Twain, as he becomes both a verbal artist and a performing artist, capturing the essence of a remarkable historical era.
Get ready, adventurers, for an audiobook experience like no other. Embrace the magic, embrace the history, and embrace the charm that lies within these pages. It's time to embark on a Hawaiian escapade that will leave you laughing, learning, and longing for more. Happy listening!
