There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later. Alot of the complaints in the reviews about this book are that "It is too slow", and "It is too difficult to read. This is actual literature from over years ago. Yes it takes work to get through the dialogue.

It is not exactly a page turner in that regard. But if you can be patient, and "get into the groove' of the dialect, then you will soon be able to read through the conversation with less effort. Of course, I am reading this as an adult, and because I chose to do so, and not for a homework assignment. I am glad I took the time to do so, because this to me is what literature is all about. It's rewarding - not just a book you cruise through in two days, and then give it to your 10 year old who also reads it in two days. There is a lot of social commentary, as well as commentary about the inherent decency of man, and what we do to screw up our kids along the way.

Critics are correct, this is not a children's book. It just happens to be about a child. Mark Twain was a masterful writer. I hope you take the time to work through this book.

See a Problem?

Also, the Dover Thrift version does not appear to be censored - as some of the other books are purported to be. Nice cover and nice paper and good font. That deserves two stars. However, almost all of the reviews are misleading if you think they are talking about this book. Amazon is applying reviews in batch to the story, not to any particular edition. This edition, with this cover and with "The Discovery of the Great" at the top, is bogus.

The closest you come to identifying the publisher is in the back: When sent to the printer and printed on 6" x 9" paper stock, most all the lines wrap so you get some short lines and some long - a complete mess!

This printer did not even bother to define the right paper size. Also did not bother to print page numbers or anything beyond the Mark Twain text.

The Adventures of Tom Sawyer: Illustrated Choice Classics Retold

Kindle Edition Verified Purchase. I wonder if somewhere in the Great By and By Mr Clemons is having himself a little chuckle every time some English teacher assigns his tome to another class of befuddled students. Surely the man who created the least literate, most rebellious, and most happily ignorant character in American Lit would appreciate the irony. He might even crack wise at the serious sermonizers and pretentious pontificators lauding his deeply flawed novel as the prodigious.

Frequently bought together

Of all people, Mark Twain would know a sham when he saw one. Even taken in the context of the day, this novel's glaring inadequacies and blunders are hard to miss. But then, he would also recognize the American-ness of the response, as well, the salesman's spiel, the overblown praise, the pumped up pomposity, the urgent, if insecure, need to apply superlatives.

I feel so lucky to have found these books I got the Tom Sawyer companion book, too.

The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain (illustrated)

The gift shop in Hannibal was selling the set in a pristine, brand new binding, etc. I just couldn't justify the cost. But when I found these books from the original or so printing in these lovely sleeves, I thought I had died and gone to heaven. Having read Twain's original "Tom Sawyer" watched many movies, read retellings, etc. This publisher continuously does a splendid job on keeping the essence of the original work and bringing it alive in the graphic medium.

I've been known to comment on the company's editorial choices of outlandish or shockin The is latest issue book 19 in this ongoing collection of graphic adapted versions of the classics. I've been known to comment on the company's editorial choices of outlandish or shocking illustration but Tom Sawyer's illustration by Ploog struck me on the first page as beautiful and perfectly rendered to represent the historical time period the story is centred in.

Of course, reducing a large classic novel to a short adaption is no easy feat, but Ploog has presented the original story with all the main story lines present and choosing to concentrate mostly on Tom and Huck's friendship, their typical capers of boys, then adding the tension, danger with Tom and Becky's getting lost in the cave then culminating with the trial and "Injun Joe"s part in the whole murder. Politics, satire and racial allusions are mostly kept out of this version. Leading me to say this volume is particularly aimed at the children audience these books can appeal to.

Even though most of the series is just as well-appreciated by adults, who never read the classics, want refreshers without reading the original again, or would like to experience them in a new way through this different format. Nov 25, Sean Chick rated it liked it. I liked the art but not the cover but Twain's plots and dialogue, however authentic, does nothing for me I am sorry to say.

So I give it three stars to register my complaint but not to punish it unduly. What an amazing way to retell the classic I was completely engrossed in the cinema like details of this Graphic novel.
