I love how you can feel the adventure! I wish I could say more.

Love this

A great yarn! I enjoyed every minute! I had purchased the new book, James, and I wanted the background.

Great book! Fantastic insight into what life was like back in those years. This is one adventure that everyone should read sometime in their lives.

The novel is the great American novel, but the ending doesn’t work. You can’t understand American literature without Huck Finn. It’s worth a read, warts and all. It offers a window into American race relations that you cannot miss.

If you can ignore the horrible racist language and racial stereotypes, this is a thrilling and hilarious tale of rebellious adolescence as Huck, and later Tom Sawyer, free an already freed slave. Pathos and morality mixed with adventure and friendship.

I too am reading this classic for the first time before reading Percival Everett's, "James." I was quite intrigued when I read in the New York Times about how his novel is a new take on "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn." I wanted to begin the new novel right away but felt it only fair and essential to read the original work first. I must say that the dialect in this classic took me by surprise and I could only begin by reading aloud. That process increased my interest and the pain in my facial muscles as I was literally laughing so hard I could hardly read. I can't wait to see what they get up to next. So happy Mark Twain shared his gift with us. Enjoy!

I decided to read this after picking up James by Percival Everett. Though my experience in reading works like this is low, I enjoyed the journey! In life, there are going to be intense adventures and some that that are going to be slower. Huck and Jim’s journey made me appreciate this. If you are put off due to the dialects, please keep trying. The final adventure was endearing and made me chuckle out loud. Overall a great read!

At times, the story felt as if it had been written all in sequence, with little thought to what had come before or what might come next. It's simply written and somewhat enjoyable, but I wouldn't call it a must-read.

Great book, makes me want to go down the Mississippi in a raft of my own! Haha!
