This book is an okay book to read. It starts off kinda slow but begins to get better as you read it. Mark Twain is a very good author and knows how to write a book, but this isn't one of his best books. I really liked his other book Huckleberry Fin. that was a fun book to read, cause i could picture really well what was going on with the two boys. But this book is still a good book to read if you are bored or if you need a book to read over the summer, but it would not be a book that I would choose to read again.

I think this book was the best book for reading counts because the characters are funny and some of them get into alot of trouble. I like the way the author writes the story. He makes the characters sound interesting and the situations that they are in don't sound boring. I think if people don't like to read as mush as other people do, they will enjoy this book. In this story, there is a boy named Tom Sawyer , who gets really gullable people to do his work for him. He also gets himself into alot of trouble. For example, Tom and his friends went to an island and they decided not to return home. Their family was getting worried and they were searching for them all over the town. Soon they asumed that they were dead. On the day of the funeral they returned, and of course, they got into alot of trouble. I reccomend this book because it is exciting and adventerous. You will really like this book!

Excellent adventure story for readers of all ages. Mark Twain hits it right on the head of what child experiences as he matures into his teenage years.

This is simply one of the most mystifying tales that I have laid eyes upon, making the long story worthy of its five star rating. This historical fiction has everything I'd look for in a book and so much more. Mark Twain has included action, mystery, romance, and even comedy. "Tom Sawyer" is on par with the work of Homer's Iliad and the Odyssey, and deserves it place in history. The vivid descriptions in the story make the characters seem real, and makes the back hills of Missouri come alive. The plot never gets dull, and it even gets more exciting as the story goes on. The book is told through the eyes of a child, increasing the interest of the book. Everything seems filled with danger, and every odd and end is a treasure to behold. If you want a story that will enchant your every emotion, and makes you feel like you were just a child, pick up "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" by Mark Twain. You won't be disappointed.

Hi,
My name is Ella James. I read this book for my 8th grade summer reading. Adventures of Tom Sawyer is a fantastic book. This has to be the best book I have read. I do have to say though for those readers who love to read through a book quickly (i do to) you really need to read this book slowly in order to understand his thought process and the story. This book is for any advanced reader who likes adventure at a nice quick pace. This book CAN run slowly in some parts but that just explains the book. I loved this book...Tom Sawyer relates to anyone in different ways. His thought process can be of an adult sometimes and that just drwas you into the book even more. One thing i found out after this book is the fact that Mark Twain drew in some of his own experiences growing up on the banks of the mississippi river. I know that for some people who hate to read and have to read this book. READ THE BOOK!!!! you WILL enjoy this book if you give it a chance. I cant wait to get my hands on hucklberry fins adventures. So read this book and i swear..IT WILL BE WORTH YOU TIME!!!
ENJOY EVERYONE
