This was another one of the classics that I apparently had no real idea of how it all went down. I thought it was about a kid an his friend who ran away from home and had adventures that were foot loose and fancy free. IN reality, it's a book about a kid who runs away for a few days but then comes back, and that's only a little bit of the story. The rest is just Tom being a pain in the ass to everyone and doing pretty much nothing but complaining.

That being said, it was kind of fun to read about Tom Sawyer and his...well what can only be described as ADD. I did like the final few pages in which Tom and Huck finally make it rich, but find that it actually just creates problems they don't want to face, leading me to believe that Mark Twain's real motto in life was "Mo' money, mo' problems."
