" I read this recently as part of the anthology of Twain's novels. I liked it overall -- in some ways it is better than The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn even though I like the character of Tom Sawyer less than Huck. It was nostalgic to me in a couple of ways -- I read it before long ago and I also used to sneak out of my house at night as a kid and have adventures. So it was a nice read that took me back to childhood. "

" Mark Twain is the first author I discovered as a young reader. I read all of his books before I graduated from high school. The beautiful thing about Twain is that when retreading him, at different ages, the books continue to speak to you. "

" 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. "

" A well-written book, but more suited towards boys. I did not care for this edition: while it was packed with facts and illustrations, the marginalia distracted from the actual text and could be overwhelming in the reader's peripheral vision. "

" Like most kids, I read this in high school English class and, like most kids, I could take it or leave it. Well, I'm glad I decided to pick it up again! Only now can I appreciate what an artist Mark Twain was. It took me a while to get through the book because I kept stopping to savor great lines and scenes. Just awesome! "

" Dude goes to his own funeral, always wanted to do that. Great book. See my review of the Huckleberry Finn book. I read them back to back in summer 2010 after it had been 40+ years since my 6th grade teacher had read them to us in school. Still great... "

" I've been listening to a Teaching Company course on American literature and the most recent lecture was on Tom Sawyer. Which reminded me how much I love this book. I've probably read it half a dozne times and discover something new with each reading. Guess that's why it's a classic. "
