A classic work. Rather slow to get through, but picks up a bit towards the end.
I really enjoyed this book. I can't believe I hadn't read it before. It's a relatively quick read, with highly entertaining and classic child protagonists. Tom and Huck are awesome and the stories are cute and classic quick reads combined into one longer tale.

Fun stories about a boy's life but incredibly difficult to read I found. It wasn't gripping and I didn't get drawn in. I just wanted to finish the book!
The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is nothing more and nothing less than the story of a young boy’s childhood/youth. It doesn’t have a large plot (although there are some elements in the story that span from the beginning to the end). Instead it details the everyday life of Tom Sawyer, his little woes and pleasures and what pranks he played.
As with the previous Mark Twain books I read, I thoroughly enjoyed The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. His way of telling a story makes even the most everyday occurrences to something special and the book repeatedly made me smile. I listened again to the narration by John Greenman (which is available for free at LibriVox.org) and found that this wonderful story was improved by such a great narrator.

Este libro me ha parecido entretenido y muy divertido. Me he sentido una niña intrépida acompañando a Tom Sawyer en sus aventuras y travesuras, un niño muy pícaro y alocado que solo piensa en disfrutar de la vida. Se me hizo algo pesado a partir de la mitad, ya que Tom resulta un poco cansino en ciertos momentos, pero ocurren cosas que hacen que quieras seguir leyendo para saber qué va a pasar. Supongo que me ha faltado sentirme más identificada con los personajes, pero es un libro ameno y me ha gustado mucho la forma de escribir de Mark Twain.
Mi frase favorita: " Había descubierto, sin darse cuenta, uno de los principios fundamentales de la humana conducta, a saber: que para hacer que alguien, hombre o muchacho, anhele alguna cosa, solo es necesario hacerla difícil de conseguir"
