What an entertaining and fun book!

I had only seen various animated or live-action versions of the story before (though I had read Huck Finn), so though I knew the broad strokes of the story there was much that was new here. It was so interesting to get a look at how similar and how different childhood was when Twain was writing compared to today.

Lauren and I listened to the audiobook version on a road trip and this particular version was narrated by Nick Offerman (of Ron Swanson/Parks and Rec fame). I couldn't recommend it highly enough! Offerman is perfect for this story, both in the narration and his character voices.

La vita quotidiana in un piccolo villaggio del Missouri, con le sue giornate che si ripetono, sempre uguali, piò sembrare noiosa, ma non per un ragazzo come Tom. Per lui tutto è una magnifica avventura. Divertente e carino

Lessi questo libro quando avevo circa 12 anni come lettura di classe. Rileggerlo oggi mi ha fatto scaturire riflessioni diverse e mi ha fatto ridere molto. Alcuni punti sono molto lenti ed alcuni capitoli per niente scorrevoli, non credo molti ragazzi di oggi apprezzerebbero.
