This book is a great read. Twain is undoubtedly the premier wordsmith of America. I had to read this book slowly in order to catch all of the subtle humor, ironies and sarcasm.
It's particularly interesting to read about the German character prior to WWI.

More from Twain on American Travels
A Tramp Abroad is best described as a sequel to Innocent's Abroad, which brought Twain great acclaim on his observations of the American tourist abroad. A Tramp Abroad is based on Twain's personal experiences while "tramping" or traveling through Europe for over one year. With typical Twain humor and satire, he speaks of his experiences and observations of the typical American tourist.
