matthewmincher@bookwyrm.social reviewed The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain (Adventures of Tom and Huck, #1)
Commentary on Boyhood
4 stars
Obviously archaic language for the modern reader.
An enjoyable read I found slow at times. I think Twain did a great job of portraying childhood - though I'm not sure I'd have enjoyed this book as a kid as much as others I did rate.
I enjoyed the small chunks of plot, and how atmospheric the settings were throughout the book. Twain did an excellent job of portraying childish emotion and motivation.
I'm not sure I perceived the mastery of this work, though.
