Rating: 1/5
It’s odd that I didn’t like this book because I am usually such a big fan of Mark Twain. I loved his book The Prince and the Pauper, and acknowledge that Tom Sawyer is very well-written. However, I thought the characters were idiots. All they did all day long was boast about who could smoke a pipe for the longest without being sick, or which of the prettiest girls liked them more, or which of the coolest boys they spent Saturday afternoon with. I really hated it. I presume that means I’m not going to be reading Huck Finn any time soon.
