具體描述
Grade 5 Up-British actor Mike McShane provides a superb portrayal of Mark Twain's classic characters, nailing the Mississippi drawl and cadence. For those who know and love the story or are following along with an unabridged edition, however, this production is marred somewhat by what the publisher has chosen to leave out. The more descriptive chapters are shortened or expurgated entirely, which is understandable in the interest of editing for time. Some of the more distasteful racial epithets are gone as well, although Injun Joe retains his moniker. Sid and Mary are also cut entirely, as well as references to smoking, slavery, most of Tom's ludicrously funny romantic notions about the violence inflicted by pirates and robbers, and even the naked figure in the schoolmaster's anatomy book. The result is a watered down Tom and, especially, Huck. The ending also lacks the satisfaction of the original version. The party scene where the fortune is revealed has been cut as has Twain's concluding paragraphs which "endeth this chronicle." It lacks even the closure of the customary, "You have been listening to-." The sturdy plastic case will survive many circulations. If your facility serves an elementary-age population for which the language of the original would not be appropriate, or there is a teacher looking for a sanitized version, McShane's excellent performance makes this edition worth recommending.

Huckleberry Finn may be the greater book, but Tom Sawyer has always been more widely read. Moreover, it is a book that can be enjoyed equally by both children and adults. Twain, who called it a "hymn" to boyhood, would be thrilled that in narrator Patrick Fraley his hymn has found its most passionate voice. Many good unabridged readings of Tom Sawyer have already been recorded, but most are simply that: readings. Fraley's performance is something more; in attempting to bring each character to life, his enthusiasm for the material is so palpable that the mere sound of his voice commands attention. A can't-miss addition to all libraries, including those that have other Tom Sawyer programs. Kent Rasmussen, Thousand Oaks, CA

A captivating version of Mark Twain's classic yarn about an orphan growing up on the Mississippi. The narrator's voice resembles Twain's; he uses Twain's language. The reader for Tom does an exceptional job. A few of the minor characters sound forced, but don't ruin the performance. For all ages. A 1999 Parents' Choice® Recommendation. (Parents' Choice®) --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
[Editor's Note: The following is a combined review with THE ADVENTURES OF HUCKLEBERRY FINN.]--Recorded over a decade ago, these volumes suffer from a few bad edits and sound quality inferior to today's standards. Tim Behrens does a spirited job performing both, fully voicing the characters and keeping his touch light. But he adds an inappropriately mincing quality to the children and women he impersonates and emphasizes the low humor. These are definitely not the most profound interpretations of these classics but are amusing enough for the casual listener.

"The humor and high-spirited adventure of Mark Twain's classic are here in full in this exuberant performance. Fraley, a veteran voice-over actor who has provided voices for thousands of cartoons, radio shows, and commercials, tells the story in a lively country twang and energetically acts out all the parts, offering a veritable one-man show. Especially entertaining are the scenes in which Tom wheedles his way our to trouble wit his aunt, tries to charm Becky Thatcher, or gets into a heated argument with a schoolmateFraley effortlessly switches back and forth between voices, throwing himself into each part with gusto. This is that rare audiobook that can truly be enjoyed by all ages." --This text refers to the Audio Cassette edition.

讀後感
用戶評價
這本書的語言風格簡直是一場文字的盛宴，充滿瞭那個時代特有的生動和韻味，讀起來一點都不覺得拗口，反而有一種醇厚的曆史感和幽默感交織在一起的奇妙感覺。作者的遣詞造句，看似隨意，實則匠心獨運，常常一句話就能點明人物的精髓或者環境的氛圍。尤其是一些對話，簡直是妙語連珠，充滿瞭地方色彩和孩子們特有的俏皮話，讓人忍不住會心一笑，甚至想把它們記下來，在日常生活中偶爾用上兩句。我特彆喜歡那種敘述者帶著一種過來人的慈愛和洞察力，時不時地跳齣來，對主人公的“豐功偉績”進行一番調侃和總結，這種敘事視角使得故事更加立體和耐人尋味。它不僅記錄瞭一段冒險，更像是一封寫給那個黃金時代的飽含深情的信劄，字裏行間都透露齣對純真時代的珍視。
评分我必須強調，這本書的內在主題遠比錶麵上的冒險故事要深刻得多。它探討瞭勇氣，但不是那種盲目衝動的勇氣，而是麵對恐懼、選擇正確道路的道德勇氣。主人公的成長弧綫描繪得極為真實可信，他從一個隻顧自己玩樂、不願吃苦的小傢夥，到在關鍵時刻能夠挺身而齣，承擔責任，這個轉變是漸進的、自然的，沒有絲毫的矯揉造作。這種對“責任”和“良知”的緩慢覺醒，纔是這本書最打動我的地方。它告訴我們，真正的“長大”，不是年齡的增長，而是內心力量的覺醒。讀完之後，我感覺自己的內心也仿佛被河流衝刷瞭一遍，變得更加清澈和堅韌。這是一部值得反復品讀的經典之作，每一次重溫，都會有新的感悟和體會，它真正做到瞭文學作品的永恒價值。
评分哎呀，這本書真是讓人欲罷不能！我一口氣讀完瞭，感覺就像自己也跟著主人公一起在密西西比河畔長大一樣。故事裏的那些夏日午後，陽光曬得人懶洋洋的，耳邊似乎還能聽到蟬鳴和孩子們在鎮子上瘋跑的喧鬧聲。作者對細節的描繪簡直是神來之筆，那些鄉村生活的點滴，從簡陋的學校課堂到鎮上的集市，都栩栩如生地呈現在眼前。特彆是對於人物性格的刻畫，簡直入木三分。那個淘氣鬼的形象，活靈活現，讓人又愛又恨，他的那些小聰明和小伎倆，讀起來簡直讓人忍俊不禁，但同時又為你捏一把汗，生怕他闖齣什麼大禍來。這本書不僅僅是一個少年的冒險故事，它更像是一幅關於童年、友誼和成長的宏大畫捲，充滿瞭那個特定時代獨有的淳樸和活力。每一次翻頁，都充滿瞭對未知的好奇和對純真年代的懷念。我嚮所有懷揣著冒險精神，或者隻是想逃離現實片刻的讀者強烈推薦。
评分說實話，我一開始還擔心年代久遠的故事會顯得有些脫節，但事實證明，人類共同的情感和對自由的嚮往是超越時空的。這本書所展現的友誼的力量，簡直是教科書級彆的。那幾個夥伴之間的義氣，那種為瞭彼此能夠兩肋插刀的默契，在如今這個略顯疏離的社會裏，顯得尤為珍貴。他們的冒險，無論是在荒島上扮演海盜，還是在深夜裏偷偷溜齣去遊蕩，都充滿瞭對既定秩序的挑戰和對“大人世界”的叛逆。這種反抗精神，是每個渴望自由的靈魂深處都會有的共鳴。而且，書中對環境的描繪，比如那條奔騰不息的河流，簡直成瞭故事的另一個主角，它見證瞭所有的歡笑、淚水和成長，賦予瞭故事一種磅礴的生命力。我感覺自己能聞到河水的氣息，聽到船隻的汽笛聲，這纔是真正沉浸式的閱讀體驗。
评分這本書的敘事節奏掌握得極其精準，每一個轉摺都恰到好處地勾住瞭讀者的心弦。我特彆欣賞作者如何巧妙地在輕鬆詼諧的筆調中，穿插進一些深刻的社會觀察。你看那些鎮上的成人世界，被描繪得既可笑又帶著一絲不易察覺的諷刺意味，與孩子們的世界形成瞭鮮明的對比。這種對比手法，使得故事不僅僅停留在錶麵的打鬧玩樂，而是深入到瞭對人性、對規則、對道德的探討。我記得有一段情節，關於孩子們如何處理一個重大的秘密，那種緊張感，那種彼此間的信任與猜疑，寫得絲絲入扣，讓人手心冒汗，仿佛自己也成瞭那個圈子的一員，被共同的秘密捆綁著。讀完後，我甚至開始反思自己童年時的一些選擇和行為，這本書有種魔力，能讓你重新審視那些看似微不足道的過去，發現其中隱藏的巨大意義。它絕對不是那種讀完就忘的快餐讀物，而是會沉澱在心底，時常被迴憶起來的作品。
