    Thank you. I am 70 years old and Tom Sawyer was my favorite book as a young child. I have read this book many many times. Also I lived a Tom Sawyer type youth and I grew up on the Muskungum River in southeastern Ohio. What a rich and full adventure my life has been. Mark Twain, I'm sure has sent many a boy off into the world with a great perspective. Greg Chaney in coastal N.C

    Mark Twain would be mortified at the thought of schoolchildren being tested on their knowledge of his book. It was meant as light entertainment, he deliberately left out any attempt at moral instruction. He was roundly criticized for this at the time, but nothing ever changes. Schools will take the joy out of anything if they can.

    Usually the Readers will say who they are- but not this fellow, and he is an AMAZING NARRATOR!! Wonderful tone of voice, fantastic change of voice for characters, and inflection and interpretation of how the characters would have sounded had they been there to speak for themselves: An overall enjoyable experience. I have never read this book (and I am a senior citizen) and am pleasantly surprised at how wonderful it is. I really enjoying listening to this creative and engaging story read by this expert reader. I wonder if he is a professional.

      “Tom’s mental stomach never hungered for one of those prizes”....😂😂😂😂 My son would say, “it’s not that deep” to anything that remotely sounds like a task that attaches itself to some kind of generic reward. If he hears about that German born poor chap’s mental state following over stimulation while trying to file all those passages waiting to be recited just for a reward, he would take a week off his weekly reading just to feel angry about such circumstances.🤣🤣🤣 Our CRE teacher Mr Reuwel just caned us and gave us more memory verses on top of the previous that we had not learnt. He has died now and I know he misses class 4. All those poor victims of his that needed such whips to know God thru reciting verses in English that did not make no sense. If you are teacher here, please ask yourself why you teach before you ruin some kid’s life. 🧐 Anyway, Very inspired reader. Thanks

    The guy reading the book did an excellent job of portraying the sarcasm and matter of fact way that Twain wrote the best parts, without overdoing it. The matter of fact explanations of why Tom thinks the way he does is the most interesting parts and he pulls the portrayal of that off perfectly, very well read!

    A modern-day warrior
    Mean, mean stride
    Today's Tom Sawyer
    Mean, mean pride
    Though his mind is not for rent
    Don't put him down as arrogant
    His reserve, a quiet defense
    Riding out the day's events
    The river
    What you say about his company
    Is what you say about society
    Catch the mist
    Catch the myth
    Catch the mystery
    Catch the drift
    The world is, the world is
    Love and life are deep
    Maybe as his skies are wide
    Today's Tom Sawyer, he gets high on you
    And the space he invades, he gets by on you
    No, his mind is not for rent
    To any god or government
    Always hopeful, yet discontent
    He knows changes aren't permanent
    But change is
    And what you say about his company
    Is what you say about society
    Catch the witness
    Catch the wit
    Catch the spirit
    Catch the spit
    The world is, the world is
    Love and life are deep
    Maybe as his eyes are wide
    Exit the warrior
    Today's Tom Sawyer
    He gets high on you
    And the energy you trade
    He gets right on to
    The friction of the day

Ive never read any of Mark Twain's work , and I love how it can reach both child and adult audiences . Great elements of sataire and social observation. Its a sad but honest reflection of some of the prejudice of the age evident in some of its language . Im sure this has been widely debated. It took me back to some of my own childhood reading which included Richmal Crompton's William books. Many Thanks. R

    The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is an 1876 novel by Mark Twain about a boy growing up along the Mississippi River.
    It is set in the 1840s in the town of St. Petersburg, which is based on Hannibal, Missouri, where Twain lived as a boy.
    In the novel, Tom Sawyer has several adventures, often with his friend Huckleberry Finn.
    Originally a commercial failure, the book ended up being the best selling of Twain's works during his lifetime.
    Though overshadowed by its sequel, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, the book is considered by many to be a masterpiece of American literature.
    It was one of the first novels to be written on a typewriter.

    I'm 40 years old and just heard the Audio Book. Twain is brilliant. His own life story is somewhat tragic. Very sad. I think he would have given worlds to be any one true character he wrote of rather than to have suffered the death of his own beautiful loved ones.
