excruciating to get through because the relentless racism portrayed in this book evidently made it age like milk

Wasn't a big fan of the plot -- lots of space was devoted to various side plots that didn't particularly interest me, particularly that Romeo-and-Juliet-esque blood feud came out of nowhere. The conmen took over like half of the book, and the ending with Tom

cruelly pulling everyone's leg

just felt like pointless buffer.

I did however enjoy the writing despite my usual dislike of child narrators and Jim and Huck's relationship was quite sweet and lovely.

The beginning and end of this book were engaging. The middle was very boring and forgettable. Glad I listened to an audiobook instead of reading it because it dragged on so much.
