I read The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. I thought this book was going to be
dull, but it turned out to be excellent.
It It was about a boy named Tom. He was really quite smart, but he would
get in trouble often. One day , Tom's acquinted with a boy named Huck Finn.
They decided to go to the graveyard to try out a superstious tale. When
they got there, they witnessed a murder. They swore not to tell anyone
about what they saw but they're afraid. Afraid that the murderer will kill
them too. Tom and Huck evenually runaway from and arrive at their own funeral,
find gold and become rich.
I think everyone should read it. It had so many clever ideas and points
to it. It was very discribtive, too. I felt like I was really there.
The author really wrote the book with detail so I could picture Tom or
Huck. I felt like I knew them. Everyone should read it.

A classic book I read that I loved is Tom Sawyer. It was a wonderfully
writen book about a mischievous boy named Tom. It's about his life, what
he goes through, and observes along the way. Throughout the book he has
little adnentures. One of which is when he became a pirate for a while.
He, and some of his friends ran off to a little Island in the middle of
the Mississippi. He has fun there for a while, but returnes to his house
from guilt. Another adventure he had was a treasure hunt. He almost got
himself murdered in that adventure. Some parts of this book I could relate
to.
I chose this book because I wanted to read a classic. I liked how the author
looked to his childish side, and wrote the book from there.
This bvook is a great book for all people, and not just kids. It's fun
reading. It's also interesting to read about Toms adventures. I'd recommend
this book to anyone. I encourage every one to read it!
