Twain shares a talent for well-observed caricature with Dickens...adventure, social commentary and good humour runs though his fiction
Sunday Express
In The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, Twain anticipates every modern American novel, from Salinger's The Catcher In The Rye to Pynchon's Mason And Dixon, in mapping a fluvial, free-flowing adventure
Guardian
Twain had a gift for reliving the innermost feelings of growing up, the insecurity, fears and hopes that lie beneath the swagger that young boys maintain. He turned them into literature
Daily Mail
This classic story will stay with you through life, and always remind you of the things that you knew were important when you first read it
Katy Guest, The Independent
The hero is one of the most endearing in literature
Daily Telegraph
