Tom Sawyer, Detective

Gelesen von John Greenman

(4,728 Sterne; 279 Bewertungen)

Tom Sawyer, Detective is an 1896 novel by Mark Twain. It is a sequel to The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1876), Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1884), and Tom Sawyer Abroad (1894). Tom Sawyer attempts to solve a mysterious murder in this burlesque of the immensely popular detective novels of the time. Tom and Huck find themselves with Uncle Silas and his family again (see "Huck Finn"), and much of the drama ends up focusing on Uncle Silas. Like the two preceding novels, the story is told using the first-person narrative voice of Huck Finn. (Summary by Wikipedia & John Greenman) (2 hr 8 min)

A Fun Listen

(5 Sterne)

This is a fun book well dramatized by the reader, John Greenman. Of course, Mark Twain's use of currently unacceptable words is well-known and is not sanitized in this reading. I belong to a theater group in Tulsa that will be presenting this story in February of 2018 and I will be using this presentation to help flesh out the show.

Mark Twain is excellent
