Reader comments
The plot is fascinating and I finished reading it in one night. It shows that human nature has a good side. When poor people reach high-level positions, they may be fair and just, but they lack courage. Only by understanding the sufferings of the people at the lower levels can the top leaders better rule a country.
Speaking of which, a friend lent me this book when I was in sixth grade, but I returned it before I finished reading it. Now I re-read it, and it reminded me of the days when I was a child, searching for novels everywhere, and suddenly I missed that carefree childhood.
Little did I know that I had read this story before.
When, when, let me think about it, is it 19 years? Or 20 years? Maybe 21 years.
In short, when I saw this book yesterday or today, although I thought of it and looked it up, obviously, I forgot about it again, just like I forgot that I had read "The Secret Garden" and "Emil the Naughty Kid".
Now, I am sure of one thing. I have always forgotten a few books, including this one, but from today on, maybe it will not be forgotten. Although it was still in the forgotten team before today, there are still several books that have fallen into such a bad team.
But obviously, or let's put it this way, the child who opened this book for the first time at that time was a child who had just changed from an odd number to an even number. He was still a withdrawn, paranoid, and perverse child. He did not understand much about the world, and he had no desire to record it.
I have no way of knowing which year it was a few years ago, which month, which day. I didn't know who the author was at that time, and I wouldn't be as excited as I am now. At that time, the author was just a stranger whose name I had never heard of.
Unlike now, I feel very far away. I know he is famous and talented, but for some unknown reasons, I haven't read much of his works. However, today I remembered this book and found that it is related to him.
There seems to be no longer any distance between him and his works.
Because in my opinion, whether it is now or in the past, when I just changed from odd number to even number, it is an undoubted good book, and I can't say anything.
After thinking for a moment, I felt that every point was nakedly displayed in the book. No need to say anything more, it just stood there, waiting for you to open it, read every word, and taste the story inside.
The plot of this book attracted me very much. The interchange of identities between the prince and the pauper allowed me to see the lives of different classes. The author's writing style is humorous, the text is simple and easy to understand, and it is easy to read. I especially like the plot in the book after the two people exchange identities. It is very interesting and enlightening. I feel that this book is not only a story, but also makes people think about many questions.
This was my favorite book in elementary school! Now I have read it again in my freshman year, and it turns out that reading the same book with different minds and ages is very interesting. Fairy tales are still meant for children, hahaha.
The content of this book is wonderful and fantastic. Mark Twain depicts a British society from a satirical perspective. The plot makes people's hearts calm for a long time [Like][Like][Like]
It's okay, it's pretty good-looking and easy to understand.
It's true and objective, easy to understand, but I don't quite understand it, so it's pretty good!
It's very beautiful, I think it's very nice!
The story is very attractive and suitable for teenagers to read.
The real warmth and coldness of human relationships, and the plot is full of drama.
Good, good, good, good
Beautiful, full of irony
Swap identities, look good, love watching.
[Adoration][Adoration][Admiration][Admiration][Admiration] Yes, but I don't understand it [Pout]

Come to Jujuran Hotel Transylvania
The plot has twists and turns and is fascinating.
You can experience the absurdity of British society at that time
Always keep a kind heart and you will receive unexpected surprises
I really like Mark Twain's works.
A very interesting fairy tale. It is very important to always maintain a childlike innocence.
The storyline is very interesting and makes people want to listen more and more.
The ups and downs of the plot, the wonderful journey of exchanging lives
It's a very fairy tale book, but it also has parts that are close to reality.
The language is simple and unpretentious, without fancy words, easy to understand and very beautiful.
The details are well described, very good
It's a good two protagonists each with their own strengths and weaknesses. The status is reversed, the weaknesses and strengths are reversed, which makes people angry. Once they return to each other, the weaknesses naturally become strengths and the attitude they should have.
The plot is very compact and coherent. It is a book that makes people read. The characters in the book are also very tense.
