I have been listening to Tom Sawyer as I have been going to sleep, around ten minutes a night. It wasn't a book that one had to read/hear every single word because it was just a bunch of exciting adventures of a boy named Tom and some of his friends. So it was a good one to fall asleep to.
What I heard, I rather liked. I think this is also one I would love to read to my kids when they exist. I found a lot of it quite funny too! Tom is a very mischievous fellow, and I very much enjoyed his adventures. The ending was interesting. It almost didn't end at all. Which I suppose was very much the point of the author. He said that one can always end a book about a man at marriage, but one doesn't know when to end a book about a boy. I kind of like that actually. It implies that the boy (or child) in us never really goes away and Tom's boyish adventures may never actually end.
3/5 :)
