Discuss Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain

[Beth]

Has anyone started? I'm running behind. I won't get to it for another week or so.

[Valerie]

I haven't. I've been up to my eyeballs in work, so my reading has suffered - gasp! :)

[George P.]

I'm finished- I read it in August actually. I think I nominated it? I really enjoyed it, particularly Twain's sarcastic wit which brings it up another level. His characters were very well depicted, and it had a casual naturalism as though your grandfather was telling you a story- this was something new in American literature at that time. I rated it 4 stars.
I just broke my collarbone in a bike crash a week ago so I'm off work for a while, so a lot of time to read.

[Beth]

Oh no! I'm so sorry George. It's great to have more reading time but not as a result of an injury. I hope you heal fast! Beth
