Members Reviews:

Just okay

It's a year or two after Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn's big adventure rafting down the Mississippi in the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. This is a short novel about Huck and Tom going to visit Tom's aunt and uncle. Tom's uncle has been accused of a murder, but Tom is on the case to find the real killer. The plot of this little book reminds me a lot of Puddin'head Wilson. It's a fun little book, but not anywhere in the league of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, or The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.

Mark Twain At the Peak of His Career

This is more or less just an extension of Huckleberry Finn with Huck and Tom involved in a murder case at Tom's Aunt Sally's place in Arkansas. Mark Twain penned this novella about ten years later but its setting is only a year or two after they break Jim out at Aunt Sally's.

This is a children's edition so I shouldn't have been too surprised certain offensive words beginning with 'N' are changed to 'Negroe'. I suppose this is better than one well intentioned publisher who raised a storm of controversy a couple years ago by changing the offending word in a new edition of Huckleberry Finn to 'slave'. But the word was considered normal in Twain's day and the terrible scourge of slavery won't be undone by editing classic literature.

This is a fun little story, told from Huck's perspective and certainly appropriate for young and old alike, even with (or perhaps because of?) the editing

Love it

Read multiple reviews that listed the best home school reading sets for children. In the top five book sets are the Companion Library set, My Bookhouse, Childrens Hour, and Journeys Through Book Land. This was my son's second long story to read cover to cover. It really helped him develop a love for reading which is my goal.

Great read

I am a old man and have been a fan of Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn since I was a teenager. I have read and enjoyed other Twain books but Tom and Huck have always been my favorites and I have laughed many times while reading of their adventures. This was my first time reading Tom Sawyer detective and it was good to follow these two characters a little further in their lives. It was a good and fast read, I recommend it to any Tom and Huck fans.

The best of the four Tom and Huck books

Tom's growing up. Still looking out for his own self interest, but now concerned about others, too. Really liked this the best, but I won't give it away.

I Mexiko, nära den Mexikanska golfen, lever pärlfiskaren Kino en fattig, men förhllandevis lycklig tillvaro tillsammans med sin hustru Juana och deras lille son Coyotito. En ödesdiger dag sticks Coyotito av en skorpion och hans föräldrar tar honom till staden, s han kan undersökas av en läkare. Läkaren klargör dock tydligt att hans behandlingar inte är gratis och att det egentligen är under hans värdighet att behandla ett indianbarn. Samma dag hittar Kino en väldigt stor och mycket dyrbar pärla, som väcker hopp om ekonomisk trygghet och ett bättre liv för hans lilla familj. Nyheten om Kinos fynd sprider sig som en löpeld i den lilla byn, där den väcker missunnsamhet och begär. Kino inser att han mste f pärlan sld s fort som möjligt, men det visar sig vara lättare sagt än gjort.Steinbeck skrev Pärlan, som ofta betecknas som en liknelse, baserad p en mexikansk folksägen, som han hade hört vid ett besök i La Paz. Berättelsen kom ut 1947, d den fick positiva recensioner och den har blivit en klassiker, som ofta läses i gymnasiet. Steinbeck skrev att med Pärlan önskade han sätta fokus p "mänsklig girighet, materialism och ett föremls inneboende värde."

Title: Ernest Hemingway Short Stories

Author: Ernest Hemingway

Narrator: Alexander Scourby

Format: Unabridged

Length: 2 hrs and 15 mins

Language: English

Release date: 02-23-16

Publisher: ABN

Genres: Classics, American Literature

Publisher's Summary:

Alexander Scourby, a fine actor who also achieved excellence in the narration of documentaries, displays his art to full effect in these two Hemingway stories about the struggle of living and dying well - "The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber" and "The Snows of Kilimanjaro". His singular performance convinces the listener that these stories are meant to be heard aloud.

Through volume, inflection, and emphasis, Scourby makes the plots easy to follow as interior monologue and dialogue alternate. Both his men and women sound honest and convincing. Though the stories deal with emotionally intense situations, they both develop calmly through Scourby's subtleties of expression and deep sympathy for the characters. This performance is a must for connoisseurs of recorded literature.

Creepy Good

When I first started listening to this story, I thought the narration sounded very odd. As the story went along, I decided that the creepy narration was just perfect! This is a pretty good, old-timey, ghost story. I liked it a lot.
