Summary: Mark Twain's The Adventures of Tom Sawyer
Review: The Adventures of Tom Sawyer was a great read. It took me a while to get through it, though. It is not long, but it is not addicting like so many other books out there.I read this book as a seventh grade literature requirement, so at first, I resisted. I was uninterested, and I did my comprehension homework out of SparkNotes. That was a big mistake. When I read the book, a few days before the test, I loved it. I read chapters over and over again, appreciating the beauty of it all and the use of language. After the first few pages, you will be pulled into this story and held by only your curiosity and interest. Huck Finn will become your best friend. Becky will be your sole interest. You will have witnessed and took part in so much mischief, you will be ashamed. That's how it feels to read this book.

Summary: looking back on The Adventures of Tom Sawyer
Review: "What's gone with that boy, Tom" said Aunt Polly. Aunt Polly can't ever get Tom to stay good. Mark Twain baisis this book on his own personal expieriences, but he baised Tom on three different people. Mark Twain uses perfectly amusing dialogue, it fits exactaly to the time period, of the 1800's. This book is creative, enthusiastic, enerjetic, and just a blast to read.
When Tom met Huck they imediatly began the most fun and daring adventures ever. One day they saw something that they weren't suppose to see. That began a lot of things to happen. Tom and Becky get lost and what they findis enough adventure to last a life time
The novel is based in a southern Mississippi town. Mark Twain tells about the book and it is like watching it in television.
The attitude and the personality of the characters fit just perfectly.
The story line of the book is also perfect Mark Twain keeps the reader in suspence throught the novel.
The dialogue, very amusing in how acurate it is. The best example would have to be:"Blame it, I ain't going."
This novle was voted the world's best reading by Reader's Digest, and that is the truth. This book is fun to read.

Summary: The mischevious Boy
Review: In The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, Tom the main character was a very mischevious boy because he always got into trouble and always thought he was innocent when he wasn't. All though the book really focuses on his behavior toward life and the things he experiences everyday. Soon enough he will realize that the thing he is searching for isn't that impotant as he thought it would be. I enjoyed this book and I recommend it to anyone who is into adventure, mysteries, good endings and sometimes a good laugh.

Summary: Remember old memories
Review: The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is a great,fun,challenging novel. Adults need to be reminded of their childhood and remember the crazy things they used to do. Children should read this book because Tom does things they can only dream of. Their are many aspects you will enjoy about this novel.
The story of Tom Sawyer is about crazy fun adventures. Tom is a misunderstood child who is tricky and sly like when he gave his cat painkillers. He tricked kids into giving him things so they could they paint the fence he was punished to paint. He also witnesses a murder and nearly gets killed for it. There are many more adventures that he goes on with his friends like Huck. The excitement never ends.
I learned that we must cherish our childhood, for it is merely a waning period in our short life. Thank you Mark Twain for showing me that I must enjoy everyday.

Summary: Escape Back to Childhood
Review: I don't know about you... but as a child I used to while away the hours pretending to be some kind of adventurer on a grand quest. Sometimes I found myself on an adventure in search of fame, sometimes in search of fourtune. I was always filled with some sort of delusions of granduer. This seems to be a right of passage for young boys. We are always filled with the hope of excitement and adventure around the corner.
Tom Sawyer is no exeption to this rule. He is a young man ruled by the hope of finding treasure... the hope of swashbuckling his way into a grand adventure.
Tom and his friend Huck spend hours looking for new thrills and trying to touch the unknown.
As I read this wonderful book I couldn't help but laugh out loud several times. Mark Twain's humor and understanding of youthful exuberance is unmatched. He must have been a life long member of boyhood.
My adventures as a boy were always grand... but never quite as great as Tom's. The Adventures of Tom Sawyer definitely provides the kind of escapism we all need young or old. This book is one of my all time favorites!
