The orphan Tom Sawyer, raised by his aunt, is never out of trouble for long. A mischievous, charming boy (not to mention genius at escaping from trouble), Tom's adventures involve many unwitting bystanders. From one moment to the next, the boy could change into a pirate, or ship's captain - when he's not trying to win Becky Thatcher for a sweetheart, of course. Tom is also a friend of Twain's other beloved boy-hero, Huckleberry Finn.

Commentary on Boyhood

Obviously archaic language for the modern reader.

An enjoyable read I found slow at times. I think Twain did a great job of portraying childhood - though I'm not sure I'd have enjoyed this book as a kid as much as others I did rate.

I enjoyed the small chunks of plot, and how atmospheric the settings were throughout the book. Twain did an excellent job of portraying childish emotion and motivation.

I'm not sure I perceived the mastery of this work, though.
