But i really don't like this book, it was one of the very very few assigned reading books i never actually finished in school. I hate reading dialects ... Nothing but pages and pages of it and tom sawyer's malevolent stupidity ...
Again, THAT WAS THE POINT. Clemmens was sending up the romanticized novel conventions from which Sawyer drew his inspiration, such as the work of Walter Scott and the like.

That's nothing that new. I read Sawyer and Huck Finn when I was like 10, and it was definitely water

Wouldn't the "kids' versions" ALREADY have that word excised? *NM*

Read real books then. What kind of ten year old needs to read dumbed down children's books?

No, the goal of the book (or one of them) was to illustrate authentic dialogue. Your brain sucks.
