Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community Jul 5, 2001
Pros: Extremely entertaining book that has a sequel better than the first.
Cons: Racial stereotypes that fit the context of the story, but may offend some.
Summary: "A modern day warrior... Ooooops! I thought this was the section for the song "Tom Sawyer" by RUSH. Hehe, sorry about that. I see now that it is for that Mark Twain classic "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer". You all ... read more

Pros: This will recreate the vanished dreams of youth!
Cons: What cons?
Summary: Little wonder that Tom Sawyer, Huckleberry Finn, Becky Thatcher, Aunt Polly and Injun Joe have been elevated to the status of icons of American literature and culture. Who among us, as playful children, did not scramble over a fallen down tree ... read more

Pros: Easy to read, keeps your interest.
Cons: None
Summary: It's strange how a book written so long ago can remind me so much of my own childhood. My adventures were never as grand as those in Tom Sawyer and I never was the talk of the town as Tom is in the story, but I had similar dreams of fame and ... read more

Pros: great book, a real classic, many everyday comparisons
Cons: you have to read in ye olde southern accent, (yes'm)
Summary: In this epic book, you may want to take a look, it takes place in the US of A, but he becomes a pirate in a bay, this little guy gets into trouble, no matter what, even if his (half-brother) Sid cuts, I know my rhyme is pretty lame, and its
