 | What was I thinking for so long?! May 31, 2010 |
| Can't believe it took me so long to get around to reading this book, because it's fantastic, and one of the best summer reads. It's very deep - exploring the old American west (now known as the American south, along the Mississipi River valley), and the people, places, and goings-ons, through the brave eyes of a young (essentially) innocent - while being just plain fun. It is dated, but that's part of its charm - the language is rustic, the children are freer, the people more trustworthy, and the river was a little wider, the heat a little hotter. A real piece of old Americana. | | | | Possibly the greatest American novel ever May 27, 2010 |
| The question is: is this the greatest American novel ever written?? If not it comes pretty close. Though it's extremely controversial, it's a book that should without a doubt be taught in every American school. The frequent use of the "N" word is disturbing, but it makes sense in the context of the book. Funny, witty, and extremely enjoyable, it is now of the best books I have ever read. I would recommend it with no hesitations. | | | | Huck Everlasting Mar 28, 2010 |
This book has awesome illustrations that help make one of America's favorite novels about an adventurous boy come to life for young readers.
After Huck's troubles with adults, he ends up taking a long adventure rafting thru the Mississippi river along with his friend, Jim. They encounter many adventures and in the process of reading these adventures, we are given excellent insight on American culture during the 1800s. The choppy English can make the book a little difficult for children, but ultimately helps to better immerse you into Twain's tale.
Mark Twain's original bad boy, Tom Sawyer, makes brief appearances in this book which helps establish an ongoing continuity. As well as with this book, I also highly recommend: The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. The Adventures of Tom Sawyer [ADV OF TOM SAWYER].

| Huckleberry Finn is one of those classic books that you just can't put down. It is a very good book that is suspenseful and really draws you in. It starts off with Huck imprisoned in civilization surrounded with good manners and sophistication. Daily he goofs off with his pals Tom Sawyer and others, imagining up scenarios where there is plenty of action and fun to be had. When his father returns, Huck has to stay with him but soon escapes, faking his own death and running away to a local island to live on his own. There, he meets Jim, Miss Watson's slave who he thought was going to sell him, so he ran off. Soon after, Huck and Jim start traveling down the river as many men were out looking for Jim. They travel only on nights, surviving on fish that they catch and other vegetables that they manage to scavenge. Unfortunatly, they run into two men, duke and king as they are known, who both claim to be royalty. They end up being a nuisance, as they demand everything be done for them. Soon afterward, they arrive at a small town where a respected man has just died. Everything in his will is pledged to his two brothers, who have not arrived. Duke and King pose as the real brothers, as they are hoping to rob the family of their money. When the real brothers arrive, Huck and Jim try to evade the con men, but as they make their escape they are caught by Duke and King. They travel futher down the river, and stop at yet another town, to resupply and hopfully make some money. When Huck, Duke, and King return to the raft, they find Jim missing, apparently captured as a runaway slave. Huck goes off to try to recapture Jim, and he poses as Tom Sawyer when he stays at Tom's Aunt Polly's house. Coincidentally, Tom arrives, and joins the cause to save Jim. Tom, as he has to throw some finesse into the escape plan, makes it much longer than it intended to be, even thought it would have been quite easy to escape in the first place. after weeks, The boys and Jim make their escape, but a few days after, Jim is captured in a town a few miles below the escape point. As Jim faces death, Tom steps in and says that Jim was already free, and that Miss Watson had freed him in her will, as she had died a week or so earlier. With Jim free, Tom returns to his original town and Huck get adopted to be civilized by Tom's Aunt Polly. | | | | The greatest American novel Mar 16, 2010 |
| I don't need to tell you what this book is about: everyone is familiar with it. I started reading it for the first time at age 25, fully expecting it to be the greatest novel I've ever read. I was not disappointed. I've never laughed so much with one book. The dialects, the events, the people: they're all so priceless. A masterpiece! | | | Write your own review about Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (Enriched Classics (Pocket))
