Review

“All modern American literature comes from one book by Mark Twain called Huckleberry Finn . . . All American writing comes from that. There was nothing before. There has been nothing as good since.” –Ernest Hemingway

“As characters Tom and Huck have become American myths (a form of transubstantiation achieved by remarkably few fictional creations in the last hundred years), and that very fact indicates that whatever distinctions are made between the two novels, and however many reservations are cited about either or both, Twain possessed extraordinary imaginative power.” –from the Introduction by Miles Donald --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautifully Bound, July 24, 2000

By	JKNG (New York) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn (Everyman's Library) (Hardcover)

A wonderful edition which includes both Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn (very handy for the Twain lover). It also has a red bookmark attached to the binding so you can easily find your place. The book is small and light so it is ideal for travelling and reading out of your home. It also includes a nice introduction and a comparative chronology of Twain's life. For a Twain collector, this is a lovely, readable copy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Duo of Mark Twain classics, September 15, 2008

By	Asteroid (Kailua, HI USA) - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase

The book arrived in perfect condition. While I've never read either story before, I know that my brother enjoyed these classics about 40 years ago. I home school and we have studied American history. I was sorry to read in some reviews how offended some people were by the terminology used in the book. I am pigmented and have been called "nigger". The funny thing is that I am not of African-American heritage!!! It goes to show how ignorant people can be! I have taught my children that everyone is a human and we treat others the way we would want to be treated. Slavery is a chapter in our history that we should be ashamed of. These are old stories, written at a different time. It's the way it was. Prejudice still exists today. My sixth grade son is learning about "voice" in writing. I bought this so that we could enjoy a classic while learning about voice, that part in writing that makes a story come alive.

5.0 out of 5 stars Alvin Bruce, January 10, 2008

By	Kevin C. Schottler - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Tom Sawyer is one of the most entertaining books u will ever read. In this book, Tom Sawyer gets himself into a lot of trouble. He got in trouble at home, at church, and at school. His mischievous antics will keep you entertained throughout the entire book. Although he got into trouble frequently, he also had an uncanny ability to get himself out of trouble with the help of his good friend Huckleberry Finn. The adventures of these two boys have entertained readers for over a century. As soon as you start reading this book, you will not want to put it down. I would recommend this classic novel for readers of all ages.
