Commentary on Boyhood

Obviously archaic language for the modern reader.

An enjoyable read I found slow at times. I think Twain did a great job of portraying childhood - though I'm not sure I'd have enjoyed this book as a kid as much as others I did rate.

I enjoyed the small chunks of plot, and how atmospheric the settings were throughout the book. Twain did an excellent job of portraying childish emotion and motivation.

I'm not sure I perceived the mastery of this work, though.

Tom Sawyer

J’ai souvent vu Mark Twain présenté comme un intellectuel humaniste et une figure importante de la littérature américaine, c’est ce qui m’a poussé à lire ce livre. Mais en l’occurrence c’est avant tout un livre pour enfant. Les quelques clins d’œil aux adultes n’ont pas suffit à me le rendre intéressant. Et j’ai été déçu d’y trouver des allusions racistes envers les noirs et les amérindiens. Finalement, Mark Twain était surtout un homme de son temps...
