The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, written by Mark Twain, is an action filled classic. This book takes place in the early to mid 1800s along the banks of the Mississippi River. Throughout the story, the main character, Tom Sawyer, has lots of fun adventures with his two good friends, Huckleberry Finn and Joe Harper. Together, they run away from home to be pirates and discover a murderer. Something that comes up frequently in the story is the fact that the juvenile Tom has fallen in love with a girl by the name of Becky Thatcher. At many points in the story, you can see that Tom and Becky are trying to take love seriously, while they were only children. This can be quite comical and hilarious at some points. At first, I thought that this book would be good, but I expected it to be a book of peacefully classic adventure, as it is realistic, historical fiction. This book defied these expectations and turned out to be filled with comical action and exploration. Although the action of this book is not like that of mystery books or of fantasy, this book is an exciting voyage that all readers should venture to read.
