The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn

Reader reviewed by Ashley

I had to read this book for school, and it was very hard to pick up on the dialect used. At first I really struggled, but once I got further into the book, the reading became easier. All in all, it's not that bad of a book. But it's not something that I'd want to reread.

The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is about freedom. Huck wants to escape the wrath of his father and has no wish to be civilized. Jim escapes slavery. Together, they have a journey on the Mississippi. On the journey, they meet lots of people of society. The men on the Walter Scott, the Grangerfords, the Duke and the King, Colonel Sherburn, and the Wilkss daughters to name a few.

I did not completely enjoy the book. However, I can at least appreciate it. Twain makes a bold move tackling the issue of slavery and society. Still, it is not a book I will ever read again or one I would recommend.

Mark Twain's The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is about a young boy, named Huck finn, who runs away from home--from an abusive father and a society who wants to civilize him. During this time he is away from he meets a slave named Jim and together they travel North-Jim for freedom and Huck because he wants adventure. The experience they encounter during this journey will change their lives forever.
I had to read this book for my English class. I liked it but I also thought that some parts of it was boring.

Well, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is apretty interesting story. By that I mean, that I have mixed feelings about it. In some parts it was good and I got excited, but in other parts it was like yawn...I am so bored. I might of liked the book if it wasn't an assigned reading but it was and having to read it every night was not fun. In some ways it is sad that I can't appreciate a classic novel by Mark Twain. In other ways the language and words they use are so different from Modern day that I can understand why it might noot be the best. I think Mark Twain was a good writer but I just didn't love this book. It was an adverage book in my opinion!!
