Someone called Tom Sawyer a "beautifully written book" in class today and I had to try not to laugh
Like regardless on your thoughts of the actual content of the book, there are several occasions in which characters repeat themselves over and over in one piece of dialogue over the course of most of a page, the descriptions are lacking to say the least (uh, it's dark and scary outside. there's like, an owl. and you can hear a wolf howl somewhere. tom and huck don't like it.) and the language overall is pretty basic and uninspired
