This one is a classic that I’ve never read. And I do like to read as many banned books as I can. This one came from my grandparent’s house and I finally got around to it.
My first impression of the book? Tom Sawyer is a turd. I knew the story about getting his friends to paint the fence and I vaguely knew he’d crashed his own funeral. It always came across as Tom being clever. But when you read the whole story, Tom Sawyer is a turd. He does improve over the course of the story. You are able to see that he does have a warmth to him. But a lot of what he does is self-serving.
This book is banned because of use of the n word and because of Tom’s “questionable moral clarity”. And I get both of those reasons. I’m glad I read it and will need to find a place for it since it has my mom and uncle’s names stamped into it. I may or may not track down a copy of Huckleberry Finn. Huck does come across as a more sympathetic character.
