I have never read a classic before, except for black beauty, but I really enjoyed this book! My copy is A Rainbow Classic, so it has a bit more pages because of the pictures.
I honestly didn't skip any part of this story because it was just lighthearted and funny and I enjoyed it. There were a few parts where I thought that didn't have to be in the book but other than that I enjoyed it. One thing I would change would be the smoking aspect where the kids smoke but at that time it wasn't known that that was bad for you, so I don't blame Mark Twain.
I am looking forward to reading another one of Mark Twain's books!
