Voting Twain on account of the 2nd funniest book review in history. (http://ww3.telerama.com/~joseph/cooper/cooper.html)
Gotta set this one up - James Fenimore Cooper was the author of Last of the Mohicans. Basically he wrote the same novel over and over again - people are kidnapped and a rugged outdoorsman has to use his tracking skills to find them. A lot of people thought he was a very good author. He was actually terrible, if you read his books. Twain calls him out in this review and it's still funny 112 years later.
