All life is a series of stories and Tom Sawyer in Hell is mine. The narrative follows the misadventures of a naive young man who has optimistic expectations about life that rapidly go south as he makes his way through three colleges on two coasts, courts and jails and small town lawyers, strip clubs, a gig as a Park Avenue doorman, hopelessness, psychopharmacology, absurdity, and the struggle to land a corporate job.
The novel reflects and comments upon the dissatisfaction of the unconnected 20-30 year olds stuck in the midst of the deflated "American Dream."

Tom Sawyer In Hell edition by Peter Black Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
I do not get to read much fiction. On such quiet and uninspired occasions, I generally sit down at my hearthside with Irving, Doyle, or Stoker. However, I will make an exception in this case. Mr. Black offers a splendid canvas of all the worst things that comprise the money making/seeking world in which we all coexist. "Tom Sawyer in Hell" is one of those novels that catches you right off, and keeps you compelled to the very last page. A novel that would appeal to a varied group of readers, which also makes it a great gift. This latter point is important to this reader especially, as I am usually floundering about during those times of the year. A worthy addition to the current bildungsroman genre.
"Tom Sawyer in Hell" is a collection of stories and narratives not unlike "On the Road" by Jack Kerouak, although the stories and the characters are perhaps a little more edgy. As the author travels from high school through a series of universities and misadventures he produces a constant stream of observations with engaging detail and texture. Line after line the stories describe the absurd that can be found in the ordinary, and how the absurdity of the ordinary can spiral into calamity. Peter says and does things that many of us would like to say and do but don't have the nerve for fear of not fitting in.
Graduating from high school having met and exceeded all expectations, Peter sets off to into the world. Now on his own, the book become a roller coaster ride through his early years as he seeks to make sense of the illogical behavior of friends, faculty, and authorities. How a person with such a solid core of values and education combined with the self discipline of the martial arts can so quickly become at odds with nearly every situation he engages is one of the questions waiting to be answered as you move through the book.
Ultimately for me the book is about the broken promise our families, teachers and society in general make; that if we do as we are told and work hard and honestly we are assured success, only to find that we are truly on our own in a perilous world where the truly authentic are few and far between.
Tom Sawyer in Hell is a coming of age novel, telling stories to illustrate college life and the angst young people go through when they have to settle on a career. It's a memoir unlike any other memoir I've read, and paints a picture of a misspent college youth, the problems with being room mates with someone who disgusts you, pranks you get up to, and the dabble into alcohol and drugs. As a mother of an 18 year old son in college, I did connect with the story, and was relieved that this wasn't my son. Although, I have no doubt he does get into some of those scrapes in res. The great thing is that even after suffering from bouts of lack of motivation, the author still manages to get a college degree and a job on Wall Street. The book is easy to read and cuts to the chase. Recommended.
I enjoyed reading this book on for PC. What an entertaining book! It's not as crude as 'The Average American Male' but it reads similarly; the authors have the same style. Very new, edgy, and entertaining, especially for 18-35 yrs old.
Tom Sawyer in Hell is a well written narrative that depicts the coming of age of an adolescent male as he steps beyond the veil of the adult world and is greeted with all the hypocrisy and disingenuous that awaits us all. I was surprised to find so much to relate to in this tale since I am female and from the suburban world that is juxtaposed against the urban environment from which our hero hails. Despite this, the feelings of frustration and disappointment that are related within the pages of "Tom Sawyer in Hell" are memories within easy reach for most of us mere humans.
The story begins with hope pinned on the sleeve of a bright student wanting to roll into the American Dream, but what he finds is a simulation of college life that isn't living up to the hope and promise of a future, so he changes his outlook and hilarity and huge lessons emerge... The wry observations of the infrastructure of our democracy exposes the actuality that most Americans are going through the motions of a normal life, while existing as a class of scavenger/zombies. the main character weaves and dodges his way through a dysfunctional culture in Academia and in landscape. I couldn't put it down, or stop recalling the comic style of National Lampoon parodies like 'OC and Stiggs' in the narrative, but it reads as smoothly as Stephen King's short 'The Body.'
Soon to be a a major indie feature, I am betting. A joy to read.
Tom Sawyer in Hell
This must be a self-published book. It is chock full of grammatical and spelling errors, at least in the edition.
Peter Black's personal angst and brutal assessments of nearly everyone he meets is a product of a spoiled upbringing. The only person he's unable to harshly criticize is the one in the mirror. He leads his life carefree while romping from one failure to the other without mentioning that he does so on his father's largesse. Perhaps if Mr. Black had, at least partially, earned his own way it would have forced him to learn how to deal with other personalities and situations rather than calling for daddy when times got tough. But then, we wouldn't have these stories.
He does have a knack for story-telling and I found myself chuckling out loud a few times. He's intelligent and articulate which gives his constant pessimism humor and an air of sympathy. I look forward to his next book and would advise him to get it professionally published only for the sake of some polished editing.
The story of a bright young man that quickly learns the future is not as welcoming as he once believed. After high school, we see the experience of college and the process of finding a job through the eyes of the main character.
This is a tale about growth and becoming an adult in modern society. It is about learning to play the game we are all a part of.
