Book Summary and Reviews of Finn by Jon Clinch

Media Reviews

Starred Review. If Clinch's debut falls short of Twain's achievement, it does further Twain's fiction." - PW.

"Every fan of Twain's masterpiece will want to read this inspired spin-off, which could become an unofficial companion volume. Highly recommended." - Library Journal.

"Despite needlessly confusing chronology, a memorable debut, likely to make waves." - Kirkus.

"This is a bold debut that takes a few tentative steps in tandem with the familiar Twain, but then veers off dexterously down a much more insidious, harrowing path." - Booklist.
