Excellent story and quick read. I started out reading but struggled a bit but once I started listening to it, couldn’t wait to finish.

I flip flopped between three stars and four stars for this book, so maybe this was a 3.5 for me? It makes me want to reread Huckleberry Finn. The author is a brilliant writer, and that was a strong driving force that kept me through to the end. I thought through the retelling of such a classic story it would deviate a bit more from Twain, but he pretty dutifully stuck to the storyline, which I just wasn’t quite expecting. The satire overall, I think worked relatively well and I can see how this won a pulitzer. But even now as I write this review, I have nothing spectacular about the book to really point out. It was well-written, but that’s all I can definitively say. I feel like I would love to take a class with an english professor in college that spent a semester just dissecting this, and unfortunately that’s not in my future.
