June Holidays Book Review 1

My book review 1 is about an adventure book called The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain. In this book, there is a main character named Tom Sawyer. There are many incidents inside the book which most of them, Tom is up to mischief. There was once in this story Tom's aunt wanted him to paint a fence. He was there painting but soon got bored. Then, a few of Tom's friends saw him painting the fence and they were very curious so they decided to try it out. In the end, cunning Tom was sitting there, resting and waiting for his job to be done, getting lots of items traded from his friends just for painting the fence. After that, when Tom's aunt went to see how Tom was doing but was very surprised when she saw the fence painted beautifully and completely. Then, she rewarded Tom a big apple for the work done. This incident shows that Tom is actually a very smart boy and quick thinking. He knows how to turn disadvantages around into advantages. Another incident was when Tom and two of his friends, Joe and Huck, went to camping. But they left without telling their parents and aunts. In the end, their families got very worried and still after a week, there were no news of them. Eventually, they gave up looking and planned for their funerals. Tom heard the news when crept home silently so he went to tell his friends the surprise. They got very excited and waited for the day which they will be attending their own funerals. This incident once again shows Tom's mischievious acts. I realised that some funny and horror incidents in this book are components which made the book interesting.
