Review
I’ve read Tom Sawyer several times over the years, physically and audibly. This is my second time listening to the audiobook as read by Nick Offerman, who seems born to read Twain. While I think years ago I’d have given this five stars, I find it is not my favorite Twain by a long shot. It is fun, and funny, but nothing to me compared to Connecticut Yankee. Anyway, I listened to this while falling asleep at night and it was perfect for that. I cannot recommend more strongly Offerman’s readings of Twain.
P.S.: there are a lot of shockingly ugly covers for this book. Good god!
