This is the first school book I can say I have really enjoyed (I haven't read 7 chapters in the middle) but it was really good. I enjoyed it way more than I thought! 4.5/5

i can see the merit of it being a “classic,” and certainly Twain was ahead of his time with his progressive views. however, there were so many points that were so incredulous and unrealistic that i had to put the book down and ask myself what i had just read. i will say that i did not expect this much depth in contrast to what i have heard of Sawyer, perhaps i will have to read that one next to compare. check trigger warnings.

There’s nothing I could ever say about Huck Finn that a million people haven’t already said, so I’ll just say that Huck is a kind of universal character that can continue to be loved throughout time, probably because he could exist through so many time periods and he could exist today. Huck is every young outcast in history, the young wild cowboy in the late 1800s, the wandering hobo in the early 1900s, the white trash homeless kid wandering around and exposed to drugs and other fucked up shit today.
Also the chapter where Huck learns Jim has been sold for 40 dollars by the King and the Duke, where has his infamous ‘Alright then, I guess I’ll go to hell’ moment is just about the best thing I’ve ever read.
One of my favorite books of all time.
