Review of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer - Mark Twain

The Adventures Of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain

Advantages: Tells the story of a young adventurous boy who lives along the Missisipi River
Disadvantages: Some parts become boring and drag on.

in the story, Tom and Huck ( accompanied by Joe Harper ) fake their own deaths and flee to an island in the middle of the lake, where they believe themselves to be pirates. Also, Tom falls in love with a rather posh girl called Becky Thatcher and chases her endlessly, one time taking the blame for a petty crime she had commited herself. He and Huck one day go treasure hunting in an old abandoned house where they come across Injun Joe, who has found treasure worth thousands of pounds. They spend the rest of the book hunting for Injun Joes treasure, But do they get it ? I leave you on this question because I believe that if you havent read this book and already found the answer to my question, Then I believe you should get reading as its totally worth the time. The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is a definite classic and should not be left out ...
