Eight-year-old orphan Beth Harmon is quiet, sullen, and by all appearances unremarkable. That is, until she plays her first game of chess. Her senses grow sharper, her thinking clearer, and for the first time in her life she feels herself fully in control. By the age of 16, she's competing for the US Open championship. But as Beth hones her skills on the professional circuit, the stakes get higher, her isolation grows more frightening, and the thought of escape becomes all the more tempting.

ストーリー
In this Audible Exclusive performance by Matt Lucas of Great Expectations, Charles Dickens demonstrates that conscience, loyalty and empathy are virtues far more valuable than intellect, wealth and social standing. First published in Dickens’ own periodical, All the Year Round, the novel was divided into nine monthly instalments, from December 1860 to August 1861. Unsurprisingly, it was an instant success and managed to sell over 100,000 copies per week. Though written at a challenging time in Dickens’ life, when the impending breakdown of his marriage loomed over him, Great Expectations proves to be one of his most optimistic, comical and romantic novels.

批評家のレビュー
"Offerman's Illinois-raised voice and actor's talent suit him ideally to channel Mark Twain and his archetypal American Puck (that "P" isn't a typo), who played pirates with an archetypal American Huck, conned his pals into whitewashing the fence, fell in love with Becky Thatcher and showed up alive at his own funeral." (The New York Times)
"Nick Offerman reading Tom Sawyer is just as charming as you’d hope." (The Verge)
"There’s something about his wry Midwestern merriment that aspires to Twainishness." (Men’s Journal)
あらすじ・解説
"Being paid to perform such a gratifying activity as reading Mark Twain aloud felt powerfully akin to Tom Sawyer hoodwinking other boys into paying him for the privilege of whitewashing a fence. Let's keep that between us." (Narrator Nick Offerman)
With The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, not even Twain could have known that when he introduced readers to the inhabitants of the fictional town of St. Petersburg, Missouri, he would also be introducing two characters - one a clever and mischievous scamp, and the other a carefree, innocent ragamuffin - whose stories would ultimately shape the course of American literature. But whereas its sequel and companion piece, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, would harken an end to childhood, the story of Tom Sawyer is one that depicts the excitement and adventure of boyhood along the Mississippi.
Revisit this enduring classic and you will be struck not only by Twain's skill at capturing a time and place so vividly but also by his uncanny ability to crystallize those oftentimes tumultuous and conflicting emotions that a child experiences at the precipice of adulthood: a longing to be free from the rules and obligations of adults while enjoying the laxity inherent in childhood; a love of all things macabre, like blood oaths, cemetery cures, and haunted houses, that reveal a true innocence - an unawareness of real-life consequences and one's own mortality; and the pangs of guilt when knowing the right thing to do and doing the right thing appear to be at odds.
A natural storyteller and raconteur in his own right - just listen to Paddle Your Own Canoe and Gumption - actor, comedian, carpenter, and all-around manly man Nick Offerman (Parks and Recreation) brings his distinctive baritone and a fine-tuned comic versatility to Twain's writing. In a knockout performance, he doesn't so much as read Twain's words as he does rejoice in them, delighting in the hijinks of Tom - whom he lovingly refers to as a "great scam artist" and "true American hero" - while deftly delivering the tenderness and care Twain gave to his own characters.

Even better as an Adult!
I'm fairly certain this was required reading when I was in high school, and yet what I remember about anything Mark Twain was that it was school work and thus uninteresting, or at least I refused to let it entertain me. As I have with many of the classics which a person may or may not be introduced to in their formidable years, I have now begun a crusade to conquer these tales, or at least allow myself the time to read, and then later admit I found some enjoyment in the title. Tom Sawyer is no exception.
I was excited to see this title on Audible and so I dropped it in my queue thinking that if anything, Nick Offerman's narration would keep my attention, and I'd pick up most of what I forgot as a youth. I made a good choice! From the start, Nick Offerman does what he does best in story telling by relaying this American tale in only a way he can. His voice inflection and character accent is perfect for this work, which (almost) forced me to listen from start to finish. I was entertained from cover to cover only wishing Mr. Offerman read many other titles. I have his personal work in my library (Good Clean Fun, Gumption, Paddle your own Canoe), and hope that he will put pen to paper again, or will pick up another American classic and give us another performance.
Do yourself a favor and add this title to your library along with the titles I've mentioned herein. You'll be glued from start to finish and you may even find a new respect for Mark Twain and his ilk.

Reading from a new perspective
I don't remember liking Tom Sawyer much as a kid (more of a Huck fan). But now as an adult I realize how rare it is for an author to so accurately capture the way children talk to each other. The one-upsmanship (especially from little boys). The curious things they find valuable. The way that making their first moral choices will way on them. It all rings so accurate, from the view of an adult who still retains the memory of how those things felt.
And really it's just a fun story. The sort of episodic and loopy ways the story is told (where the narrative backtracks on itself as we switch points of view in the same incident) feel surprisingly modern.
The cultural differences (use of the "n" word, etc.) are, to be honest, a little uncomfortable. But for them not to be there would make the storytelling less true, and I think it would be a loss. Also, it's interesting to try to "read" Twain's telling to try to discover where he might have been indicating that, even as he told this story, he knew that the world was changing.
Nick Offerman's reading has a very light touch, differentiating the voices just enough so that it feels like a book and not a radio play (my personal preference). He seems to have a good handle on Twain's humor, and doesn't read like it's some sort of dusty museum piece, and not just a darned good, and darned funny, story.

Stop what you are doing!
Nick Offerman was surely born to read this book. Tom Sawyer has been a classic boyhood story for years, and Offerman's performance of it is everything that one could want and more. Nick brings the story to life with unique voices in dialogue, and his own mellow tones for all the other narration make the story move. If you've ever considered reading Tom Sawyer, or have already read it and would like the audiobook, stop what you are doing and get this audible performance.

Fall in Love All Over Again
I am not exaggerating when I say that this is one of the best things I have ever listened to. Nor would it be dishonest to say that this recording made me fall in love with Twain's classic ode to adolescence all over again. But perhaps the strangest thing, as I keep telling all my friends, is that I completely forgot how truly, laugh-out-loud funny this book is. I have the narration to thank for that reminder. Park and Recreation's Nick Offerman is known for playing the quintessential gruff male, but he thoroughly astonishes here, bending his baritone effortlessly to give Twain's characters life. My favorites: the uptight, exhaustive wailing of Aunt Polly; the cracked pleading of drunkard Muff Potter; and, of course, the winking, boyish charm of Tom himself, which Offerman gracefully transforms into tenderness during moments of adolescent melancholy. Which is to say, you can hear Offerman enjoying the reading and loving its characters.

Good, But Not The Best Audible Version--
You almost can't go wrong with Mark Twain, especially not the innocent joyousness of "Tom Sawyer" which is an ode to youth, adventure, and audacious mischievousness.
But you can hamper its retelling by having questionable narration. Nick Offerman, though feisty and capable, really doesn't settle into the story until about halfway through and, even then, he really doesn't do much for characterization as he mostly reads the text. Yes, with verve but, no, not much in the way of distinction. He offers mostly the same tones for each character, no "Oh, dear, what will I do with that boy," of a frustrated yet tickled aunt. No wheels whirring in a devious mind of Tom, no seen-much-and-done-much-more-than-that of Huck. No swirling yet beguiled sauciness of Becky.
The best "Tom Sawyer' on Audible is narrated by Tim Behrens (if you can handle the sound of a page turning here and there). Even Grover Gardner offers more vocal distinguishment. And yes, I have each version, so I can offer truthfully my personal opinion.
When I started listening to this, the story was so appealing, but Offerman's rendition was so uninspiring, that I switched to Tim Behrens so I could get the whole story with all the joy and excitement that Twain inspires.
Just remember: Get the kindle edition (anywhere from free to 1.99) and you can get most of the audible versions at a reduced rate, thus leaving your credit rations intact. Find the narrator that most suits your tastes.
But for my dollar, it wasn't Offerman, as talented as he is, who offered the wonder of the story as it should be told. Plenty of passion, but little warmth.

If you have to be exposed to Twain, this format is the way to go. Offerman does an outstanding, lively performance despite the weak material. Tom Sawyer is no better now than it was in high school 45 years ago, but it’s no worse, either. Some good bits but a lot of dry spells.

Offerman Is Just so Good!
I admit that calling The Adventures of Tom Sawyer a "latest discovery" feels a bit strange. I read (and loved the book) as a kid. But it wasn’t until a recent over-hyped blizzard when I convinced myself to listen to the version narrated by none other than Nick Offerman. I needed a familiar voice (I absolutely love Offerman) and a familiar story to keep me company in my tiny studio apartment as I worked. This entire production is incredible. I’m used to Offerman’s deadpan delivery, but his ability to bring distinct personality to each character just demonstrates his comedic acumen. I was cracking up on my commute the following morning, and was not-so-secretly pleased that my train stalled for 30-minutes due to "inclement weather

Nick Offerman was perfect for this.
I was surprised at how many different voices he had, and how he brought so many characters to life. Good job, Nick.

Pretty much perfect
This was one of the best audiobooks I’ve listened to. I hadn’t read any Mark Twain for a long, long time and had forgotten what a fantastic writer he was. Nick Offerman’s reading was flawless and very well suited to the book.

a classic for a reason
Would you consider the audio edition of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer to be better than the print version?
nick offermans performance adds a new depth and tone to the book that lets you relax into it and lets it surround you rather than just reading it
Who was your favorite character and why?
tom of course, theres no adventures with out him
Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
through out the tale you feel a strong bond to tom and only wish the best for him

A period piece that seems personal to the author
This is a story that seems very personal to the author. This fact becomes clear to the reader half through story even without knowing the backdrop to which this novel was written or its author.
Although being one the best renowned literary classics, the story is simple and straight forward and is suitd any age demographic.
The narration is excellent and is worthy of such novel.

Not Read Before
At the age of 65 it seems hard to believe that I have not already become acquainted with the works of Mark Twaine.
This is the first in the series and was considerably more enjoyable than I had imagined it was going to be.
Overall an entertaining and easy that its well worth a listen.

Terrific Tale
This is a classic you simply must listen to. Nick is the best narrator for Twain’s story. I hope he also narrates Huck Finn

Fine production
Solid performance of Twain's coming of age story. The plot is pretty thin but the whole is elevated by the author's wit.

Perfect Narrator!
I think this book was made for Nick Offerman to narrate and he does a great job of voicing the characters without hamming it up too much!

Classic that needs to be heard
I wouldn't like to be a parent reading this to a child and having to explain that certain words and phrases that are now not at all appropriate, were ok when this book was written. However, as an adult, I could listen to this and understand why such history has made our future. The story itself is nice to listen to and the narrator did very well with the different characters.

Lovely exaggerate exploring of how children think
I loved this. The exaggerated exploration of how children think is beautifully entertaining, adding layers upon layers. It is also a sad harking back to the racist views that held blacks as evolutionarily inferior to whites as opposed to being equal creations.
Excellent narration.

An epic tale by a master storyteller, perfectly narrated.
Thoroughly enjoyed revisiting this classic. The tale never seems to age. Nick Offerman’s narration is spot-on; the tone and tempo perfect for Twain’s descriptive & colourful language. Thoroughly enjoyed!

A great classic
As always, Nick Offerman breathes life into Twain's wonderfully crafted words and while in my youth I'd read the book, many years later no longer having the tome in my possession saw Offerman's narration and thought I'd have a listen. Definitely recommend to anyone who enjoys Nick Offerman or the classic tale of Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn.
