Tom Swift and His Motorcycle


Leído por LibriVox Volunteers

(4.4 stars; 61 reviews)

This is the very first Tom Swift adventure. Tom Swift has a newly purchased motorcycle, which he is modifying with his own inventions. He volunteers to use his bike to carry his father's new turbine design plans to Albany, testing his motorcycle enhancements at the same time. Set upon by corporate spies out to steal his dad's plans, Tom must escape from them, recover the plans, and complete his trip! (Colleen McMahon)

Listeners are forewarned that some elements and characters included in Tom Swift books portray certain ethnic groups in a very dated manner that modern readers, and listeners, may find offensive. It is Librivox policy to maintain the original language of texts. (4 hr 23 min)

Reseñas

Fun adventure!


(5 stars)

I liked this more than I expected! A good young adult book, but enough plot to keep adult readers interested. Can't wait to read more by this author!


(5 stars)

I’ve read this book and the rest of the series over and over time and time again since I was eight, and nearly died of wonder when I found them one day on Librivox. Is is a great story and while a little dated, the basic truths of courage, honesty, truthfulness and resourcefulness are still applicable today.

good yarn

Such a simple beginning for Tom Swift!

old style story


(4 stars)

Rather predicable story. While the presentation of the black character was probably acceptable at the time this story what written, today it comes across as very insulting and cringe- worthy.
