Just because it's famous doesn't mean it's good. Very boring. The few interesting chapters of the book are separated by chapter on chapter of boring rambling gibberish. Unless you're into reading paragraphs of dialogue that consists of…

This book, more than many other books I can remember (perhaps The Mad Scientists' Club by Brinley?), can make me feel boyish. This book makes me want to go fishing, go float the Buffalo River and pretend to be a pirate, to dig for bury…

Tom Sawyer has a good heart, but trouble just seems to find him. Somehow. Repeatedly. Chock full of rousing adventure, peril (both real and imagined), philosophical musings and clever, wry humor, this Twain classic remains an enjoyable…

Good book. It is hard to understand if you read through it really fast. Mark Twain perfects the imaginary life of a mischievous boy in the Great Western times.

A good read, as with most of Twain's stories. I would say this is the Hobbit of Huck Finn's Lord of the Rings. It is a much easier read and meant for a younger audience. I personally found Huck Finn a more enjoyable read, but I would still…

I hadn't read this in the longest time and decided to revisit it. A fun book written by someone who clearly knows how boys play. I enjoyed it as much this time as I have in the past.

For ages 9-12. Life is fun for Tom as he cleverly persuades his friends to do his work, attends his own funeral and hunts for buried treasure. Fun; that is, until he accidentally witnesses a murder.

Oh my gosh, I just loved this book!!!!! I'm a huge vocabulary fan, and the words using to describe all of the events in the book are priceless. Like seriously, I started using them, and sometimes my friends can't understand. Honestly, the…
