A review by rosekk
The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain

3.0

I can see why this book became famous. It's funny in places, and it does capture the sensation of childhood games pretty well. It's a bit hard to read now though; it gives away it's age in uncomfortable ways sometimes, particularly with the odd bits of racism that sneak into the text, unremarked by the characters because they were written in an era where that was standard.
