This was uncomfortable to read/listen to, but I think it’s important to read it at least once.
I wanted to read this before reading Percival Everett’s book: James.
I thought Huck grew to have good judgement and see Jim as a human being (as best he could at the time) but the whole thing at the end with Tom really pissed me off.
That said, I still think it’s an important read.

It had the same magical impact as Tom Sawyer, and I didn't regret reading it again. That was a time when slavery was the norm, and the author portrayed the cruelty and absurdity of it through the adventures of two boys. It is a light-hearted tale, told with great wit and humor, but through it all, we get a clear picture of that world, far more poignant than a serious narrative.
