Rating: Summary: Tom Sawyer Rocks our Book World Today Review: One of the Best Written books I've read. I can see how The Adventures of Tom Sawyer By Mark Twain is considered an American classic. Although not for adult readers I highly recomemd it to kids from 10 to 13 years old. Altogether this is a great book and if you havn't read it yet read it now. The story of a rambunctous and mischievious young boy. It is interesting to read about Tom's many adventures with Injun Joe, the villian, Huck Finn, the son of the town drunkard, Becky Thatcher, Tom's grade school sweetheart, and Tom's best friend Joe Harper. These adventures include running away from home, getting lost in a cave, watching a man get stabbed to death and an innocent man get blamed for it. You can be a part of these adventures and many more if you choose to go on the journey throgh the book of Tom Sawyer. You learn many things from this book. You learn a little about what life was like in the 1830's. Another mesage this book gives is that we should let kids be kids. These are just a few things you learn from the book The Adventures of Tom Sawyer.
Rating: Summary: Tom Sawyer is an Over-All Good Book Review: Tom Sawyer is a book about a boy who loves to have fun. Therefore, I would reccomend this book to kids from 9-14 years old, because it's about kids who love to run, play, and get into mischief.This book will get you off your chair and make you want to dance! This book begins while whitewashing a fence and tricking his friends to do it for him. While the story of THE REAL Tom is unraviling the story of love with Becky Thatcher is also. Among that the scary story of Injun Joe, a crook,liar,and a spooky man appears. This book is an extravigant, thrilling tale! I learned a lot from this novel. I learned that back then kids could be kids, and now a 12 yr. old has to act like a 25 yr. old. I also learned that some people just need to let loose, and have some fun! I am extremely glad that our class read Tom Sawyer!
Rating: Summary: A Great Book for Anyone Review: Tom Sawyer is a great book. I recommend this book for kids. I feel kids would treasure it more than adults because they don't think that adventures are as exciting as they use to. I liked this book because it has so many adventures in it and I wish I could do those kind of things.(And get away with it.) In this book there is a young boy named Tom Sawyer. His adventures include a witness of a murder, being pirates, finding gold, and finding a new arch enemy. Tom also finds his true love. From white washing fences to giveing his cat pain killers, Tom is a troublesome boy. He is also smart, crafty, and loves to play jokes. Even though Tom plays tricks and loves to torment other kids he still is a great kid. I learned a lot in this book. One thing is that kids need to be kids not adults. Theywill never be a kid again, so why not now? Also I learned that you should not lie just to impress someone. Tom Sawyer is an excellent book and I encourage everyone to read it.

One was that kids should be able to be kids, and parents should let them be kids. Also you better enjoy being a kid whial you still have the chance.

Rating: Summary: The best of Mark Twain Review: Tom Sawyer is one of those rare novels that may be embraced by people of all ages. When Mark Twain wrote it, he intended for it to a children's book. Today, it has evolved into a classic. Twain gave Tom a certain flamboyancy that will intrigue a child, and a sincerity that will entertain an adult. He (Twain) combines a boy's wild side with a deeper, self-indulging character. The byproduct: Tom Sawyer. I recommend this book for everybody. Tom Sawyer is a boy who hates boredom, so when there's nothing to do, he creates his own recipes for success...or disaster. Crafty and shrewd, Tom will pursue everything-be it love or be it murder. Tom, along with his comrade Huck, witness a killing, vacation (without permission) on an island, and track down $12,000 cash. When uder Tom's influence, boys will do anything-even chores! The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is full of messages. I think Twain was trying to emphasize how children should be allowed to be children. If he could see how we are treated today, I think he would say "But why?"

Rating: Summary: What a Book!!!!!! Review: Tom Sawyer? It's a Mona Lisa in the world of literature. This book is definitely on my top ten list. I would recomend this book for ages 9-13. Its plot is not very complex, and it is easy to read. I recommend The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. During The book, Tom learns that Injun Joe framed Muff Potter for a murder. When Muff Potter is in trial, Tom went to the stand and told on Injun Joe.When his name was said, Injun Joe ran out the window. After that, Tom and two friends, Huck and Joe, went to a deserted island. Also, he and Becky got lost in a cave. I learned this from the book. Be a kid while you are young! I don't know, but a 35 year-old "hooking" something would look weird. This is what I learned.
