Mark Twain
Mark Twain, who was born Samuel L. Clemens in Missouri in 1835, wrote some of the most enduring works of literature in the English language, including The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Personal Recollections of Joan of Arc was his last completed book—and, by his own estimate, his best. Its acquisition by Harper & Brothers allowed Twain to stave off bankruptcy. He died in 1910.

Reviews for The Adventures of Tom Sawyer
154 ratings77 reviews
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Cruciaal is de ontmoeting met Huckleberry Finn. Vinnige dialogen; Mooie impressie van jongensachtige gevoelens en leefwereld, genre Witte van Zichem (Claes is duidelijk maar een doordrukje van Twain). Toch maar matig boek.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5A very adult children's book.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This book was hard to get into at first--the vocabulary and language is tough and gets you off track. However, the story-line is great. I love the newer adaptation of this book with Jonathan Taylor Thomas. The ending in the book is far better though, and of course the book is more detailed and the movie makes more sense in parts. Overall, I think this is a good book for adults and middle or high school students to read because it's about being young and finding yourself as you grow up.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Mark Twain's prose is lovely, and walks a fine line between describing the rural South in ways which are sentimental or derogatory. But it is at the end of the day a children's book for boys, about Indians and buried treasure and running away and getting lost in caves, which while it is endearing and lovely is not sock-rocking.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Miss Hunt's eighth grade English class. Guess what her nickname was?
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The title is pretty self-explanatory - although I read this book at least 5 years ago, I still remember loving it. The dialogue was slightly difficult for me to get through at the time, but it was everything a book should have: great characters, coherent storyline, and good narrative.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Of course it's a well deserved classic!!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I am adding this book as one of our family read-alouds. While often read by high school students as "classic" literature, this book proved a hit with my family audience, ages 8, 14,17 and middle aged.
It is funny and suspenseful and the characters are vivid, all requirements for making it on our read aloud picks. - Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The story talk about Tom sawyer likes adventures.He and Joe harperand huskleberry finn have an exciting life.One night in the graveyard he and huck finn see the men.who are they ,and what are they doing in the graveyard,in the middle of the night.Then the boys see that one of the men is lnjun Joe . Tom and huck never forget that night . They are afraid of lnjun Joe,and they are right to be afraid .Because lnjun Joe is very quick with a knife.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Twain's bold themes are wonderfully depicted in this novel where Tom gets into all sorts of mischief. I love Twain's literary style and humor. Worth reading it at least once, if not more.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Tom Sawyer is a typical Southern boy looking for adventure. I don't think there are many young boys that would skin a cat or fake his own death so that he might attend the funeral, but the mischief of such a boy has always been there...and will always be there, too! Tom lives with his auntie and while he is well loved he is always looking for ways to run away. His sidekick, Huck Finn is eager to join him in adventures "down river." Both are "smarties" as my grandfather would say. Showing off for their peers, and besting the adults -there is never a dull moment in Tom Sawyer's world.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The story was cute, but man that kid needed some discipline! It's hard to believe how wild children used to be. But it did make for an entertaining and amusing story.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book is very interesting. Tom is a main character in this book which is a noughty boy. In this book, there are many fanny things. Tom is a smart boy, and from him i can move on to my childhood. In this book, you also can learn many principles about how to become a real man. You can kown which is the truth and which is not. I never feel bored of this book. Because it is not only interesting but also you can improve your vocablary. I introduce this book for u and wish u read it and like it.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A young criminal mastermind-in-training gets into mischief with his disreputable neighborhood friends.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I had never read the Adventures of Tom Sawyer except in a childhood version in Golden Books or something like that. I skipped right over to read Huck Finn. While this is definitely a children's book in many ways, Twain writes in such a way that adults still enjoy Tom and his picaresque adventures, both as nostalgia for our own childhoods and because the adult voice of Twain cannot help inserting his snide commentaries on humanity.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5One of my favorite Twains
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Everyone should read this book!
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I have heard about this American classic for so long, and I love other Twain books, I thought it was going to be the end all of end alls, but I was disappointed.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Classic in every sense. Something new every time you read it.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This book was one of my favorties as a child. I found Tom to be fun and relational. Twain's mastery at portraying realistic characters from this era is amazing. Great Book! Read and have fun.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Cruciaal is de ontmoeting met Huckleberry Finn. Vinnige dialogen; Mooie impressie van jongensachtige gevoelens en leefwereld, genre Witte van Zichem (Claes is duidelijk maar een doordrukje van Twain). Toch maar matig boek.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5One point less for mocking Christianity
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5I can't really say this novel caught my attention as I really found nothing to sympathize with either characters (Tom or Huck) and outside of some "goings-on" in their lives, there was no real hook to the story. Maybe today's life is so far-removed from those days that they seem rather prehistoric, but even as a piece of "history" (fictional or otherwise) I wasn't particularly entertained.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5It had been some time since I'd read this, and I'm fixing to read a new novel about Huck Finn's Pap, so I thought it best to repair to the source material first. Being the mother of a boy has certainly changed my reaction to this particular book. What struck me as hilarious fiction once now rings true and is not so mirth-inducing. The nature of the boy as boy seems unchanged though lo, these many years have passed. Twain's not dated in the least, and is still one of the funniest writers ever.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5My advice would be to drop whatever you're reading and read this now, before you're thirty-eight and can appreciate it but never love it.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I re-read this every few years,this a an American classic.A must read for everyone.
I do re-read it every few summers, a classic. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The book is SO much better than the movies! Can’t believe it’s taken me over five decades to read this. Classic for a reason – Mark Twain has such a way with words.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This little paperback will do until (and if) I find my first edition. Hemingway and others have said Huckleberry Finn is the classic American novel, but I think this one is head and shoulders above Huck's book.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A great classic tale filled with childhood memories and the innocence of naivety. Not that long of a read, it's a great tale for numerous mini-adventures to take on throughout the course of the novel. And what could make any child happier than actually finding that long sought-after buried treasure.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Never read this during all my school years so I thought I had to give it a shot. I was surprised. I found the book to be rather enjoyable and unlike many other "classics" that fail to live up to the hype. A great story and definitely a classic.
