Book Review: A Tramp Abroad, by Mark Twain (1880)

Interesting sequel to The Innocents Abroad, but not one of Mark Twain's best.  Wait, was this supposed to be a sequel?  It sort of felt like one to me.  There are parts of this book that I love to read, parts that make me laugh.  But also several parts that are tedious.

The premise is Mark Twain, about a decade or so after The Innocents Abroad, decides to return to Europe.  He's going to hike this time.  And he makes a noble effort at it, but in the end we don't really care how he gets about.
