The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (Abridged) Audiobook

" 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. "

" dont remember anything of it... "

" Gostei muito! Agora quero ler "As Aventuras de Huckleberry Finn" "

" I great option as light reading. "

" I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Twain captures perfectly the mind of the little boy and it had excitement and adventure without cliche feats that a real little boy would be unlikely to accomplish. That's the thing I liked most about this book, is the likelyhood of it. Everything that happened is perfectly plausible in the real world and a lot of it probably did happen. "

" I grew up reading this book too! It's so much fun! "

" i thought the book was really good :) :) !!!!!!!!!!!!! "

" Pulled this one off the shelf for the first time since I was a kid. Twain's humor is infectious and affection for his hero is palpable. Enjoyable, but it left me craving more of the adventurousness of Huck Finn. "

" I read this book for school. I would've like it more if i was an 8 year old boy. "

" Not as good as Huck Finn. This one is more fun and witty, and less complexly layered. It's still a fun read. "

" I read this years ago and was hoping to be re-aquanted with it. It was pretty much the same as I remembered it; I loved then and I still love it! Twain is a writer you have to pay attention to. He had a sense of humor that could slip right past you if you just read through it. Look at what he says, then look at what he COULD have said! "

" Enjoyed it - was surprised at how much I had forgotten! Changed some of the words as I read it aloud to my son. :) "

" A very strange story, I can't say I completely understand why it's considered a classic... but wasn't torturous either. Just very odd. "

" Best book I've had to read for school... EVER "

" I had to read it, as a kid. Turned out that I liked it. "

" I love the rolling Southern beauty in Twain's writing and the stereotypical stories we can enjoy. Though this book is all about Tom, and Tom and Huck are two manifestations of man in the South... I always love Huck's careful, experienced honesty... he seems to be the most honest person I've ever read other than Luna Lovegood. "

" The fight inside Tom to tell the truth in the court describes the eternal fight between right and wrong as wrong always promises safety while Right offers peace of mind and heart "

" A master manipulator...I think I had several students like this! "

" the lads innocence will drive you crazy.... they will teach you to be determined in life but beware of smoking and infatuation. "

" " The Adventure of Tom Sawyer" was a great book that gave a potential details that MarkTwain provided. One of the best novels read from the past that has been past down from generations. "

" Not really my style, but I'd give it a 3/5. Honestly, it is AMAZING! I mean look at the humorous and witty Tom, paired up with Huck Finn the homeless boy. Wow, interesting really. "

" I had forgotten how funny this book was. Such great writing and painted the perfect picture of a little boy mind (I assume). "

" nice adventure with deep look "

" Ahh... The antics. The superstitions... Pirates... Twain's sarcasm. I love this book. So fun! "

" read this in high school "

" I read this to my children a chapter at a time every night while we camped. Most nights they talked me into reading an additional chapter or two they enjoyed it so much. It was fun to read it with different accents for all of the colorful characters and watch my children experience this classic story for the first time. From now on, I will associate this story with camping with my children :) "

" Great read aloud and good for discussion how times have changed. "

" Very good but just not as good as Huckleberry Finn. I wish I had read them in reserve order. "

" Although it shares characters with Huckleberry Finn, it does not share depth. I struggled to love Tom and his story. "

" If you've ever been a young boy, this book will remind you of all sorts of things you thought when you were. Recommended. Required reading. "

" It was ok butt it was to long of a book "

" I liked this much better than Huck Finn. Some imagination. "

" We listened to this while returning from a trip. I actually didn't hear the end, but got about half-way through it (because at that time we'd arrived home). I enjoyed what I heard! I definitely want to finish it, but there are so many books on my plate right now I don't know which one to read! "

" While not as great as Huck Finn, this book is still a great read. "

" The story line fascinated me, but in some parts, it felt like it never would have ended. "

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

" Fun story. Definitely more of a children's book than Huck Finn, but a good set up and well painted characters and exposition. "

" Out of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn, I can be the first to tell you, Tom Sawyer is much more readable for most people. However, it does not capture the depth that Huck Finn manages. I think every person should read this book, if a former English teacher has not already compelled them to do so. "

" suitable for under 16 years old "

" The joys of childhood before television came along and ruined it all are descriped with such humor and joy in this great adventure. "

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

" it was a good book, mixed with adventure, a little romance and horror. "

" Mark Twain was a very gifted writer. "

" after reading Cannery Row, it was a mighty follow up. really suited my mood and the heat of summer. One of the Jewels of my collection surely. "

" I believe I ought to reread this one, too. Later... "

" the lads innocence will drive you crazy.... they will teach you to be determined in life but beware of smoking and infatuation. "

" Gorgeous book! I adore both Tom and Huck, and delight in their adventures. Mark Twain is magical, he is one of my favourite authors of all time :) "

" I just started Becky to, just some words are to big "

" This was a Must-read-for-school book. I loved every minute of it! "

" Wonderful story. I loved reading this one. Combines action, comedy and interesting comments. "

" Who can tell a story and that much truth all at the same time? "

" Read this book a long time ago but loved the adventure with Tom Sawyer. He's a snarky kid but a lot of fun. "

" Was fun and light. Should have read it when I was young. I am sure I would have enjoyed it immensely "

" as funny as I remembered it "

" Enjoyed it - was surprised at how much I had forgotten! Changed some of the words as I read it aloud to my son. :) "

" I favour this book more because of nostalgia. Admirable from beginning to end "

" Wanted to re-read as an adult. It was lovely being transported back to childhood . "

" I thought that this book had many interesting and adrenaline-pumping-inducing parts,such as the "We're going to abandon civilization, and go be pirates for a while" idea. "

" very good i love it "

" A classic adolescence coming of age story that I read in not only the 4th grade, but the 6th. A staple in American literature. "

" I didn't realy enjoy this book "

" It had been so long since I read it (originally in junior high I think). I actually read this to help my nephew who was assigned the book over the summer break. I enjoyed it! "

" Perhaps I did read this back in the day, after all. Quite a charming story, IMHO. If I'd known Tom, I would have been the tomboy in his gang. But no, I always had my own gang. "

" Required reading in high school. "

" Beloved childhood story! It was awesome to live with Tom so much naughty adventures! lol "

" I got to 50% and was still bored, so I've quit. "

" A must read for everyone of all ages. "

" Hard cover copy printed by Dean & Son Ltd "

" It was good but not one I was itching to read. I was fine going several days without reading. "

" A great story with non-stop action and unforgettable characters. Sure it's supposed to be a kids' book, but few adult novels are this engaging. "

" I can see why this book is considered to be a classic, but I'm afraid it didn't do anything for me and I gave up half way through. I think it's now a little too dated to appeal to most readers, but don't let me put you off. Give it a go, you might enjoy it! "

" Mark Twain is one of my favourate American Author. His writing has a great sense of humours. The characters of Tom Sawyer is so vivid and I could almost see him in front of me. This is definitely a great pleasure to read - for both Adults and Children! "

" Mark Twain was a very gifted writer. "

" Such a classic! Mark Twain will forever be one of my favorite writers. This is the quintessential book for/about young boys. The adventures, jokes, pretending, and love interests of Tom and Huck will never get old no matter how many times you read it. "

" The best children's book ever. Both huckleberry Finn and Tom sawyer the best books I've read, and I was kinda lost during reading these books, and couldn't help imagining myself as Tom and Huck. "

" it is a very helpul book. it greatly inproved my english. it is a must read and awe-nspiring book. "

" It was rather a very simple tale about childhood. I like Dicken's characters on Oliver Twist and other novels having a child or children as protagonist. (Poverty in England's Capital is prevalent during Dicken's literary era, as compared to the adventurous times of Twain's at the Mississippi.) "

" I visited Hannibal, Missouri as a kid and it was like this book had come to life. "

" One of my favourite books from my childhood. One of those that I love to read and re-read every so often. "

" I like other Twain writings, just not Tom and Huck. The vernacular is very hard to read and the story just doesn't interest me. "

" Excelent book, i love it. "

" I got to 50% and was still bored, so I've quit. "

" Was surprised how much I enjoyed it. "

" I had to read it, as a kid. Turned out that I liked it. "

" Not as great as The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, but Mark Twain's humor and storytelling abilities make it a classic read. I thoroughly enjoyed it and didn't want to put it down. "

" One of my favourite books from my childhood. One of those that I love to read and re-read every so often. "

" Got boring. Read only if you like classics and old/not so old english "

" This was a cute story and fun to read! i gave it 3 stars because, Tom sawyer irritated me sometimes. if he was my kid, i think I'd ...... Plus, The old language is hard to read and I was lost many times. "

" 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. "

" nice book to read when you have young boys of your own... a lot of boy traits are the same across time & place. A little shocking how parenting and education were handled back then! "

" nice adventure with deep look "

" 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! "
