Tom Sawyer

I’ve finally finished the book Tom Sawyer. I found it quite enjoyable. At times the pace slowed down drastically and it then became hard to follow. However the book was fun to read, Tom showed a true sense of ingenuity which gave him the intriguing edge that caught my attention. His pal, Huck Finn was the same way; however Huck was more independent and more mature. What struck me about the book was that Tom wasn’t noticed as a decent being until he did something for others which in turn gave him status at the end of the novel. I found Tom’s character to be inspiring, his profound sense of cunning, his different perspective of ways face new obstacles, and his incredible skill to convince people to do things for his own good.
