From the opening chapter to the final sentence, j guevara hasunfolded a tale that pushes your imagination in every direction, dragsyou kicking and screaming into the past and back again, language anddialogue that screams across the page, until, finally, you reach aclimax that makes you just want to go back and do it again.Enthralling, hilarious, bold and entertaining…what more could you askfor?”
-Paul Phillips, Readers Heaven, NSW Aust.
Somehow, j guevara has channeled Twain – his cadence, language andpersonality spot on. After reading and re-reading, I now have to ask…is this really fiction?

Curious to see what has occurred since his last departure in 1910, Reid sets out to bring Twain up to date from political correctness to modern inventions with a whirlwind tour of live blues, a nude bar, an Indian reservation, past fields of Latino migrants, Epcot, Disneyworld and a return flight. All building toward an awe inspired packed audience to witness Twain's final performance of commentary on today's human condition in his typical wit, humor and wisdom
I'm not so sure j guevara hasn't actually met Samuel Clemons, aka Mark Twain. Twain's dialogue especially in his performance near the end of the book is realistic. I found The Twain Shall Meet, entertaining, humorous and a delightful read.
This is the first book I have read by author j guevara. I eagerly await his next book. J has that special something that few authors have. It is a special gift that you are either born with or not. Guevara was born with it. The characters are life-like and likable. The plot is interesting and has a message to it. The Twain Shall Meet is the type of book that compels you to reread. Well done Mr. j guevara!
This one shouldn't be missed!
Walt Long:
In a tale that rivals Mark Twain's own classic adventures with colorful characters and relevant insights, j Guevara has crafted a funny and intelligent story that bridges time and cultural change. He has a remarkable gift for dialog and for subtle, Twainesque humor.
