I didn't like this book right from the start, as I found the rather episodic nature of it a little bit difficult to deal with. Plus, Tom didn't come across as a very likeable main character at all - especially at the start of the book he seems rather mean-spirited and pugnacious. What kept me readin...

So when I was a kid, I had this large collection of Children's Condensed Classics. There were maybe 25-30 books, and they were all amazing. Let me see if I can remember some of the titles: Tom Sawyer Huck Finn Around the World in 80 Days Moby Dick Little Women The Many Adventures of Robin Hood The...

A very bittersweet story, with humorous criticism and some funny takes on how we were supertitious and naive when we were kids.

I have mixed feelings about this novel as either adult or children's book. The introduction says that though the two books are tied, the difference between Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn is that the first is a children's book and the second is a book about a child. I'm not sure if I read this as...

I read the Reader's Digest condensed version when I was a kid and staying with my grandparents, who had a wealth of books in the Reader's Digest condensed format. Not sure if the condensed version was actually very condensed. The story was exactly as I remembered it. My favorite part is when he puts...

If I were to give this review a title, it would probably be something like, "Peter Pan of America." Both Tom and Huck are thrown together in this hilarious set of adventures that set off all sorts of emotions in the reader. The down to earth characters are charming and whimsical, innocent and yet no...

On nije bio "primeran" i "uzor-dečko" u svom rodnom mestu. Ali on je dobro poznavao "uzornoga" i mrzeo ga je iz dna duše. Tom Sojer je sasvim običan dečak. Ili sasvim neobičan, u zavisnosti od vaše lične granice između običnog i neobičnog. Ima i sasvim pristojnu družinu - jednog, podjednako pros...

I can't believe I read Huckleberry Finn first, LOL. Well.Mark Twain is a good author. That is all. I really cannot stand reviewing classics unless I really, really enjoyed them.

I cannot, cannot, cannot, cannot believe that I haven't read this one before. I even read Huck Finn a dozen of times when I was younger, but apparently never realized that it was a sequel to this. How it could have escaped my attention I'll never know.Reading this was delightful. Mark Twain portrays...

I remember have to read it for 8th grade, and how it was written how people talked so there were funny contractions and stuff... I also remembered that while my teacher was reading it out loud she misspoke and accidentally swore instead of saying a similar word (I can't remember want it was though) ...
