The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
Ratings824
Average rating3.6
Mark Twain's brilliant 19th-century novel has long been recognized as one of the finest examples of American literature. It brings back the irrepressible and free-spirited Huck, first introduced in The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, and puts him center stage. Rich in authentic dialect, folksy humor, and sharp social commentary, Twain's classic tale follows Huck and the runaway slave Jim on an exciting journey down the Mississippi.

Definitely a hot take...
This book is less than stellar. Often meandering and lackadaisical in its plot. I enjoyed the episodic nature of Tom Sawyer, but this book has no real “interesting” developments and ends quite frustratingly.
I admire the honest approach of racism in society and how it can impact youth, but I really feel that the ending completely unravels all the good nature it had built in the pages before it.
Interested to see how my perspective changes on the story after I read James.
Fantastic read.
This abridged version feels complex, like Richmal Crompton's “William” stories.
