Earnest Hemingway :- All modern American literature comes from one book by Mark twain called Huckleberry Finn
"Imagine writing about slaves' feelings in 1884—scary enough, right? I understand why Hemingway said that quote; this book indeed has a very important element of American history. But, not gonna lie, I kind of felt bored at few points points."
"It’s a story about a slave, Jim, who escapes from his cruel mistress and is helped by a young white boy, Huckleberry, who’s also running away from his abusive, drunkard father. The best part of the book is when Huck gets caught between what he’s been taught since birth about slaves and what he actually sees. His inner conflict between sin and righteousness is what really drives the story forward."
Huckleberry was indeed a good man, but his relation with his father made him bond more with Jim.

Official Summary:
“A nineteenth-century boy from a Mississippi River town recounts his adventures as he travels down the river with a runaway slave, encountering a family involved in a feud, two scoundrels pretending to be royalty, and Tom Sawyer’s aunt who mistakes him for Tom.”
For The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, I decided to try a combination of the audiobook and my print copy, which helped immensely in understanding the characters’ dialects and brought the story to life. Mark Twain’s storytelling shines through, and his ability to capture the voices and personalities of his characters is remarkable.
My Thoughts:
Though I enjoyed the book, it didn’t quite become a favorite. Still, reading Twain’s work was an experience I’ve always looked forward to, and he didn’t disappoint. His writing is immersive, and the sense of adventure and insight into human nature make this book a worthy classic. For anyone tackling it for the first time, the audiobook paired with the print version is a great way to appreciate Twain’s unique style.
Rated: 2.0/5.0
