Aventuras de Tom Sawyer (The Adventures of Tom Sawyer) (Abridged) Audiobook

" I am still making an attempt to re-read some classics. Re-reading The Adventures of Tom Sawyer was as expected: The book is, of course, entertaining, and the plotline is predictable. As a literature and writing teacher, I found it interesting as a style-study. Students today find it difficult reading because of the dialect and quaint vocabulary, but it offers students much that most recent adolescent fiction ignores - analysis of morals, social customs, and interpersonal relationships for one. It is also a good glimpse into a no-longer-known culture. "

" Awesome book. A timeless classic. "

" not as horrifyingly deep as Huck, but therefore more enjoyable "

" I love Mark Twain! This was the first of his books that I have read and I thought it was quite entertaining to get to peek into America's history just through the writing of this book. I learned some new words and left no page unturned. "

" No reason attempting to review The Adventures of Tom Sawyer--Twain is what makes us call, "classics" classics. Boyhood Americana couldn't be finer than Tom (let's not forget Huck), a raft, the Mississippi River, and boyhood shenanigans. "

" A book from my childhood from which I value how to be a joyful adult:) "

" Reminds me of the time when Americans knew their neighbors, actually played outside, and enjoyed life as a child... Seems like a life I would want. "

" Somehow I have managed to avoid reading any Mark Twain. My library is doing a two communities/one book celebration about Tom Sawyer. It was a quick read and I decided Tom wasn't as bad a boy as I thought. I'm looking forward to learning more about this book. "

" Just read it with the boys for the first time. I think I read most of it before but it's such a familiar tale that it's hard to know for sure. Really struggled with Tom's character but the writing and Huck got us through it. "

" I read this book many years ago -when I was probably 11-12 years old -maybe not even that old -and I loved it! This and Huckleberry Finn were two of my favorites back then. Excellent reading for children, young adults or old folks! "

" By today's standards, Tom would probably be diagnosed with ADHD. By the end of the story, he hasn't really learned anything from his (mis)adventures. I like this story though; fun and adventurous, with several run-ins with the eerie and creepy. "

" I loved it, read it as a kid and it brought back some very amusing memories. "

" Long time ago as a kid! "

" Wonderful book that I love! My all-time favourite part is when he manages to get all the others to believe that white-washing a fence is the most fun a child can have! "

" The edition I'm reading is from 1963 and must predate ISBN since it doesn't have one. It also states the book is by Samuel Clemens (I'm thinking the original publication of the book in 1875 listed Mark Twain as the author; that was his pen name.) "

" Another favorite that I have read and re-read "

" It was a good story about tom and huck. i enjoyed reading it "

" Somehow I have managed to avoid reading any Mark Twain. My library is doing a two communities/one book celebration about Tom Sawyer. It was a quick read and I decided Tom wasn't as bad a boy as I thought. I'm looking forward to learning more about this book. "

" Love the humor and real life feel of childhood. "

" I wonder why I was so reluctant to read this book. It was fun and the traditions, culture and suspicions of the time are really interesting. I enjoyed this one! "

" I like this more than Huck Finn. "

" I found this book very funny and entertaining. Although most of my friends disagree with me, I thought this was a great book, especially when you're just in the mood to relax and have a good time. "

" Not as good as Huck Finn. "

" i mean its a childrens book, amusing at times but i think overrated as a "classic" "

" The antics of young boys can be very funny and entertaining "

" Very hard to follow!!! This is the only book I know which the movie is wayy better "

" Long live Mark Twain. He is so witty and charming in his writing style. "

" Great Literature! Funny boys--make me laugh. "

" Tom Sawyer is mischivou kid that likes to bribe others for his own personal gain. Along the way the have mini adventure. This book explored the mind of a child that was unpredictable. Theme: -Innocence -Being yourself "

" Exciting, very suspenseful, with every random little event connecting to other events with a smooth flow. "
