Twain’s iconic work. Much harder to get through as a youngster, likely because I found it less interesting and didn’t know how to read quickly. The supplementary materials are helpful.

There is nothing to say about Huckleberry Finn that hasn't already been said.
Absolutely no idea how to rate this. I finished it, though, and you best believe it's only so I can read James next and adopt a signature look of superiority when people ask if I read Huck Finn first.

I think this is one of those "you had to be there" books. It just hasn't aged well. I can see that at the time of it's release it was probably pretty revolutionary. Glad I read it for context before reading James.

wasnt at all what i was expecting it to be <3
Well i had to read this book for school and i don't know what i thought the book was going to be like. It was one of those Classics that your just not really sure what it really is. I have to say that it was a little hard at first to understand what was going on to catch the flow of Mark Twain's writing but i did eventually catch on and actually started to enjoy the book. The part that kept me cracking up was the King and the Duke. It was just hilarious
I'm not sure why this is a "classic," it was quite a slog for me to finish. Frankly, it would be DNF, except my next book to ready is James by Percival Everett, a retelling of this story, from Jim's point of view. That of course brings up another issue with this book - the "n" word is used quite liberally. I know, this is a book of its time, but good grief! I would never suggest that Huckleberry Finn be pulled from libraries or be "banned" because of it, but readers should be aware that in 1884, when it was first published, that language was the norm, but it is not now. When we know better, we do better.
