While I'll admit to Mark Twain's brilliance, I was still very displeased with the ending although I knew it was going to happen.

This book was unfortunately less overwhelming than when I first read it 29 years ago. Especially the chapters involving Tom Sawyer felt childish and out-of-place. The first four chapters are in the same vein as '[b:The Adventures of Tom Sawyer|24583|The Adventures of Tom Sawyer|Mark Twain|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1404811979l/24583._SY75_.jpg|41326609]', but when Huckleberry's Finn turns up, the novel enters darker waters. Nevertheless, the book remains a rather episodic adventure novel, with little development. Moreover, the use of dialect and the frequent use of the n-word get on one's nerves. What remains is Twain's great ode to the Mississippi river, who's arguably the real star of the book.
Adventure of Huckleberry Finn is the quintessential work in American dialect of its time and place.

I reread this while reading James. Honestly, felt like James could have addressed more sections of this book than it did. Def a product of its time and certainly makes you think.
