Did not enjoy. Very hard to get through. Only read to give more context to Perceval Everett’s novel “James”.

The first two acts of the book are some of the greatest literature of all time. To me the book ends when Huck decides that he’s going to hell if he saves Jim, then decides to do it anyway. The true ending feels like a whole other book and undoes the entirety of Hugo’s character development. I understand some of the interpretations of it however to me it reads as Twain not knowing how to finish it. Despite this still an incredible and unparalleled book.

I had to read this book for school which might have ruined it for me. Or maybe it's because I couldn't relate to an adolescent boy.

This book did what it intended to do and it is a lovely story, it just annoyed me a little. It took me a very long time to get into a rhythm with the writing. The dialogue is hard to read but, it is done very realistic for the time and place.
I loved Huck, I thought he had a good heart even if he was a bit dull.
I really loved Jim, I am so happy with the way it end for him.
My major problem began with Tom Sawyer. I hate Tom Sawyer. He could have gotten Jim killed. He had information that could have easily saved Jim, but didn't use it and got them all into so much trouble I was cringing reading the entire thing.
Over all it was okay, not my favorite, but I certainly respect the themes.
