A book review of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer
One of my favourite great books is The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, by Mark Twain. The story is set in the town of St Petersburg, Missouri, in the US, in the nineteenth century. It tells some exciting stories about a boy who has many adventures.
以……为背景
Tom, the hero of the book, lives with his aunt Polly. He is a lively and clever boy. He does not like people telling him what to do, so he always gets into trouble. He and his best friend, Huck Finn, run away to an island in the middle of the Mississippi River. Tom has more trouble because a bad man named Injun Joe is looking for him. Later, Tom escapes from a cave with another friend, Becky. He also finds Injun Joe’s treasure box and takes it away.
遇上麻烦
逃走，逃跑
从……逃离
My favourite part of the book is when Tom and Huck start their adventures on the island in the Mississippi River. At first, they are happy. But when they hear that everyone thinks they are dead, they feel very sorry, so they come back home. They hide and watch for a time when they see their family and neighbours coming to their funeral in the church. Then, Tom and Huck suddenly appear. Everyone is surprised to see them at first, but very pleased to find that they are alive.

The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is a great book. It is more than an adventure story. Mark Twain wrote it in 1876. It describes people’s lives in the southern states of America at that time. It tells how young people grow, how people love each other and how bad people pay for their actions. It is written in everyday English, and the dialogues sound especially real. Today, it is still read and loved by people all over the world, and it is thought to be one of the greatest American stories.

My favourite book is Harry Potter and the
Philosopher’s Stone by J.K. Rowling. It is a story
shout a boy …
Possible answer
My favourite book is The Invisible Man, by H. G. Wells. The story is set in England near the end of the 19th century. It is the story of a man called Griffin. Griffin is a scientist, but he is also an evil man who dreams of power and wealth. One day, he discovers
a way to make things invisible. He makes himself invisible, but he cannot figure out away to make himself visible again. In disguise, he hides in a small village in England. When he runs out of money, he turns to crime and steals from people. He can do this easily because he is invisible. But he is angry
because he cannot make himself visible again, and he soon goes mad. He thinks he can use his power to take over the world. He commits many more crimes before he is killed by angry villagers.
The Invisible Man is about someone who uses his power in a way that is wrong. Readers can ask themselves a question, “If Iwas invisible, would I steal from people and hurt them just because I could Or would I still try to be a good person ”
