5.0 out of 5 stars Huck and Tom, my sentimental childhood friends..., February 14, 2000

This review is from: The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (Signet Classics) (Paperback)

This is the first novel that I ever remember reading and thank the lord for Mark Twain and what he did for me. I was amazed, as a young boy of eight, that a book could bring me so much pleasure. I loved the adventure and romance of Twain's world and thirty years later remember the adventures he took me on and the charachters he introduced me to. True, this is not the depth of James Fenimore Cooper, the detail of Clancy, the clarity of thought of Dostoyevsky or even the shock of Steven King, but it is classic American literature and had it not been for Tom and Huck, I may have never learned to love to read as I do. This book should be read by every young person.

This review is from: The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (Signet Classics) (Paperback)

i did not like the book adventures of tom sawyer because i thought the book was to slow. they would carry on and on about things that were not that important. in my opinion i think that junior high kids should read this book. i thought that the book was like a roller coaster because one chapter you start getting to the climax and it just turns on you and goes to something differnt that is not even involved in thier adventure.
