Summary: THE EASY BOOK
Review: The adventures of Tom Sawyer was a great book for a beginner reader. I would recomend this book to every one and people who are trying to learn their second language english. The reason I like this book is because it was easy to read and was very adventrous. This book is very fun to read because it has many surprises and thisngs you wouldnt expect from a small boy like not listing to any one and run away from home. I thought this book would be boring and to easy and i would not enjoy it but i was wrong. This book turned out to be not to easy and was one of the best books i have read this year. The only reason this is the best book I read this year is because it is the only book I read this year. I hope the next book I read will be longer and better than this book I read.

Summary: Classic Juvenilia
Review: This work is far from Twain's best, yet it remains one of his most popular works. Though humor that would go over the heads of many children is used, I still think that is the best age range for its reading; I found the novel hard to relate to because I am not young nor was I the imaginately adventurous type that Sawyer is when I was young. To a mid to older teenage audience I would sooner recommend Huckleberry Finn and to an adult audience, Life on the Mississippi.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Tom Sawyer
Review: This book is about a boy named Tom Sawyer, a mischievous boy who was cared by Aunt Polly. He's in love with this young girl named Becky Thatcher. He teaches her how to draw. Tom and his friends Huckleberry Finn and Joe Harper discovered a secret island. They go off onto that island to live like pirates. They were presumed dead until they came back just in time to attend their own funerals. They were caught and punished for their actions. Tom and Huckleberry Finn saw Injun Joe, a killer hid a treasure on that island. The only clue was a number two. Injun Joe died tough by starving to death. Tom told Huckleberry that he followed Injun Joe one day and saw that he buried it in the cave he died in. Tom and Huckleberry found the treasure box and looked inside of it. It was filed with coins, guns, and a pair of moccasins.
I recommend this book for other readers that are my age because this book teaches you that it is bad to lie. Tom Sawyer lied a lot. Hs stole jam from his Aunt in the beginning of the story. He had to lie to his aunt to get away and get to their secret island to be like pirates. He also told to Huckleberry Finn that he didn't see where Injun Joe hid the treasure.
My favorite part of the story was when Tom, Huckleberry Finn, and Joe Harper went off to their secret island and live like pirates. Nobody was with them and except themselves. It was funny how they came back on there own funerals. They also saw Injun Joe on that island and were he buried his treasure. Tom's aunt got so mad at him for running away from home. This is a great book to read.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: my favorite Mark Twain book
Review: this is my favorite story by Mark Twain. what i love about it is just simply everything. I love the feel of a nice relaxing memorable summer while reading this book. he really brings out the life of this little town on the Mississippi, and has two of the most memorable characters ever written, Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn. Excellent read for kids of all ages.

Rating: 4 stars

Summary: A Review Of The Adventures Of Tom Sawyers Adventures
Review: The Adventures Of Tom Sawyer is an okay book.It is a great book for reports. Mark Twain takes you into the exciting life of Tom Sawyer.Tom is always getting into trouble for playing tricks on his Aunt Polly. Tom is an ordinary boy who goes on adventures that you could never forget.The only bad thing about this book is that it goes all over his life and so you can never get a grasp of who he is. Basically, this is a good book for younger children.

Tom even tricks his own friend into white washing his aunt's fence. I have to admit that Tom is a smart boy (especially in tricking people to trade great stuff for junk like fishing line), but Mark Twain could have done better.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Tom Sawyer
Review: I've recently read the book "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer". It was a fantastic book. It was a halarious book. Tom, the main character, was mischievious and was the kind of hustler that could sell you a house seven times then tell you that you still have to build it. The most interesting part of the story was when they went down the river and became pirates.He fakes his own death and attends his own funeral. He has a frightening adventure in a cave with his friend Becky Thatcher and get lost then chased by a killer. Then when his friend Huck Finn joins up the trouble doubles. Tom Sawyer hates being bord so he makes his life fun and exciting for everyone!

Rating: 4 stars

Review: The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is an amazing tail of bravery, trickery, and friendship. This tale begins in the late 1800's when a boy named Tom Sawyer is alive and kick'n. He is full of tricks and pulls pranks all the way from feeding his cat Peter painkiller to running away and becoming a pirate, and leaving everyone he knew and loved to think he was dead. In the end Tom and his girlfriend Becky get lost in a cave, but once Tom gets out he comes back with his best friend Huck to find buried treasure that belongs to Injin Joe. To everyones amazment, they find it! This is a terrific book and I think everyone should read it.

Summary: The Adventures Of Tom Sawyer
Review: The Adventures OF Tom Sawyer is book about a boys life in a little town named Pettursburgh where he does what ever he wants. He loved to play jokes and make all of his friends do his chores. This fun filled tale has left kids around the world to think what they can accomplish by reading this book. I would give this book a five star, because this book shows kids of all ages what kids did if they did'nt have T.Vs or computers to make there lives fun but they had adventures and books and friends and most importantly family to make there lives exciting. This is why I would give this fun tale a five star....

Rating: 5 stars
