    I reread this book for an English Lit course in College. Its a great story for a youthful mind (or to make you feel like you have one). Definitely something you can read again - and if you haven't read it you just have to. There also is a completely different perspective on the story reading it as an adult than you saw when you were young. The whole slavery and the meaning of running away comes out... basically there is a lot more to this book than a story about a mischievous little boy.

  • I believe I read this on my own. As I recall, Huckleberry Finn was required, but Tom Sawyer was not. I read Tom Sawyer (although not this edition) during the summer.

"You don't know about me without you have read a book by the name of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer; but that ain't no matter," declares Huck at the start of one of the greatest books in American literature. Filled with all the humor, suspense, and sheer excitement of its predecessor, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is the more profound and accomplished creation. The tale of two outcasts' journey down the Mississippi River, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is a nostalgic portrayal of a world Twain knew intimately, and the moving story of a boy who must make his own way in an often cruel society that counts it a sin to help a runaway slave.
