"Fun and important"...vs "...I get it! "Fun and important"...vs "just fun!" I agree, too. Tom Sawyer is plain adventure. But I think I like Huckbleberry Finn a little more because it presents great arguments and themes. <br /><br />That little town of Hannibal on the Mississippi, where Twain grew up, has the spirit of Tom and Huck all over it. From the fence where they paint to the island they explore to the cave where they get lost. It all came alive for me. I can't wait to visit both novels again, one of these days. <br /><br />Ruth @ with freedom and bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15531827758868215023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-341752236357006509.post-11983032988605933572019-07-01T22:06:34.195-04:002019-07-01T22:06:34.195-04:00Thanks for this review.

I think I will read them. And I totally get your reason for preferring Tom Sawyer. We really do need fun reads!Paula Vincehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02079952414990463270noreply@blogger.com
