Review: The Prince, Edward, and the pauper, Tom Candy, met each other they changed their own everything. But they had something problem, so they wanted to change back themselves. Then the prince met a brave man Mile Hendon, so he helped the prince go to back to palace. But they had some trouble because the soldiers didn't let them into the palace. The pauper said about himself that he was the prince. So, the soldiers think they are crazy. It was too difficult for them. Then ....
I like this book better form all reading book. My favorite part is prince and the pauper when they change their own the moment. "How exciting "I thought. They can own the totally different life. They both were brave and curious . When they know what were the other life they still can became themselves .
People always need some unusually thing to excite their mind. The story gives people who have boring lives a fantasy.
The same reason as me like the store, and it has happiness final.

Summary: A Great Timeless Novel
Review: This novel by Mark Twain is truly a timeless piece of literature. It's story line is one that any young boy would love to live. It depicts the situation of a young pauper and a prince who accidentally switch places. It is a easy read, and the dialect is shown very well through out Mark Twains writings. I very much enjoyed reading the book, and I feel that most people would find the book humorous, full of adventure, and fun to read.

Summary: A wonderful classic for intelligent and imaginative kids.
Review: This story has been a favorite of mine since I first read it as a child. I have re-read it many, many times, most recently to two of my children (who also enjoyed it), and it continues to be rich and engaging. Since the language is true to the era of the story, however, it may put some readers off. Others will find that the archaic language enhances the tale.

A beggar (Tom Canty) and a prince (Edward Tudor), who look so alike as to be twins, meet and swap clothes for a lark. But an accident of judgment stretches the lark into an adventure, and the adventure into a nightmarish struggle of life and death, honor and dishonor.

Hasn't everyone wished to be royalty at some point in their lives? And especially if you were the poorest of the poor, like Tom Canty, wouldn't it be your dearest wish as a child? This is a great and yet fearful adventure, superbly detailed and believable. It was carefully written in such a manner that genuine history leaves it possible. One of Twain's best ever.
