I didn't know if I wanted to bother with this book, I'd read it as a kid and it was ok. I'm glad I listened. As an adult it was a different book. The readers are excellent. Even if you have read it before, listen again it's worth it.

Wonderful!

I enjoyed this recording very much. My only comment would be that I could not hear Tom's part as well as the other characters. The reader did an excellent job with Tom's accent, the reading. The rest of the readers did a great job. Thanks for a great time.

Excellent

This book was brought to my attention by the current POLITICAL landscape in America. Dictatorial/despotic-type individuals aware of things(anything) from history, especially Western, want to censor what THEY consider “offensive” or “oppressive”, never mind the thoughts & feelings of those THEY believe & pronounce they are “fighting for”. I thought, “hmm, better check this out before the Stasi burn it, along w/other grand titles like 1984, etc…”. Well, to say I was positively surprised is a understatement. It is thoroughly entertaining, written so well, I am transported back to that Mississippi River vicinity w/Tom & Huck & Muff Potter. The narration by the Librivox Volunteers is superb & is the actual reason for such a mental transportation. Let me say, slavery was & still IS evil. Racism, in its true defined form, one race of people or person(s), carrying on & acting out as if they are superior to any other race, is evil. This book & its author, Mark Twain, do not convey to me racism. Whether or not Mr. Twain was a racist, is unknown by me. I’ve never, in 50yrs, heard he was…it’s sort of, brand new, this labeling all from history racist so uh, the reasonable, logical, mature me says, “it’s simply too, TOO, much & can’t be!”! Great job Librivox, this is an awesome site. God bless America 🇺🇸

Awesome!!

I love it!! I read the book in school, and didn't like it very much. But now I like it because the voices make it more enjoyable!💖

it was good, but Toms voice was a little muffled and some of the men had woman voices... But I enjoyed listening to it for school

Great Old Read

Enjoyed the dramatization reading but some of the characters are very flat and don't speak with as much emphasis as others.

It's hard to get into the book when some voices aren't suitable for the character. For example: Joe had an Indian accent..
