Okay, obviously this is a review on how good it was. I first read this book when I was nine, I loved it. Mark Twain is a amazing writer who wrote magnificently throughout a time period I didn't really know much about when I was nine! I really did like how Mark Twain wrote Tom's personality, his recklessness and sneakiness just made the book.

A simple classic - perfect for kids to read in elementary school.

How great to read this classic tale again after recently touring Samuel Clemens boyhood home of Hannibal MO where the story was born! Now on to Huck Finn!

Welp. Now I can say I've read Tom Sawyer.
