BOOK REV. BY NATHAN
Book Review
This book, considered one of the classics of American Literature, tells the story of Thomas Sawyer, a mischievous boy who gets in many troubles and adventures together with his friends Huckleberry Finn, Joe Harper, and his beloved girlfriend from school, Becky Thatcher.
Tom lives with his aunt Polly, his sister Mary and his well-behaved younger brother Sid, who always sneaks on him. He is a very playful and imaginative kid, whose games of pirate and Indian sometimes go far beyond the limits of imagination and take a much more real stance.
Mark Twain explores Tom's mind as a child, exposing its dreams and weaknesses, taking the reader back to his childhood memories and making this book a must-read classic for all ages.
Tom Sawyer, a Must Read Classic!
The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain is a wonderful book. It is an energetic tale of a mischievious boy, based on Twain's own youth, with some fictional items thrown in. The story follows Tom Sawyer as he goes from antagonizing his Aunt Polly, to searching for treasure, from conning his peers, tohanging out with his best friend Huckleberry Finn. His life changes dramaticaly though when he and Huck witness the brutal murder of a man by a notorious lawbreaker. The lawbreaker, an Indian named Joe, blames the murder on the town drunk, Muff Potter. Can Tom go against his oath with Huck to stay quiet, and proves Muff's innocence? Or will he keep quiet and send Muff to his death, just to safe himself from the murderous Injun Joe? You will have to read the book to find out!
In my opinion, this is one of the greatest books ever written. Mark Twain has a way of describing the intricacies of childhood behavior so that kids know what he is saying, and also at the same time, he can describe the same in an adult, refined, manner so that grown ups can fully comprehend what is going on. If you have not read this book yet, you are truly missing out on a well written classic. This novel has been read for over 100 years, and I believe that it shall be read for another 100 years.

Tom Sawyer faces a lot of problems and troubles that the average boy takes on. For instance, he faces girls and experiences love; he one day meets a girl named Becky Thatcher and really falls for her. He also faces boys in fights. He likes to tease, is rowdy, and is just plain naugthy. But there are some things that they face that the average boy won't dare take on. Like the adventure to the cemetery where he and his friend witness something and do some detective work. Another is when they all run away to a distant place. See how it all turns out. The last adventure is when Tom and his friend Becky Thatcher gets trapped in a cave with the town's most wanted man.
Read to see how they survive.
This book is interesting. I invite you to read it.
