i was not expecting to enjoy this as much as i did, i heard a lot of negative things about this book, especially from people who read it and high school for their english class. i personally really liked it and i can’t really pinpoint why.

the main character is obviously very attaching and he grew on me really quickly. the story in itself was quite funny too, i did laugh a few times which surprised me ngl.

i think huckleberry finn is one of those books that you’ll hate if someone force you to read and study it but can 100% enjoy if you pick it up on your own

excruciating to get through because the relentless racism portrayed in this book evidently made it age like milk

Wasn't a big fan of the plot -- lots of space was devoted to various side plots that didn't particularly interest me, particularly that Romeo-and-Juliet-esque blood feud came out of nowhere. The conmen took over like half of the book, and the ending with Tom

cruelly pulling everyone's leg

just felt like pointless buffer.

I did however enjoy the writing despite my usual dislike of child narrators and Jim and Huck's relationship was quite sweet and lovely.
