challenging dark informative reflective tense slow-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? No
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

this is one of my summer reading books but however i am a reading whore so i will rate this honestly. i HATED it. not even because i have to read it for school but because of how spineless a lot of this book was. why is it considered a classic? god i don’t even know.
anyways what was the point of the king and duke? they had absolutely no purpose in the book. also finding out in the very last chapter that huckleberry’s dad died in like CHAPTER NINE what was that? there were some memorable themes that i can accept and learn from in this book like how people are always going to be horrible to eachother. we can see this theme in how humans treated slaves as less than; how humans were looked at in a different spectrum when it came to family or wealth. that i can accept and can condemn it to one star. 
would i read this book willingly??? no absolutely not. 
would i recommend this to others to read willingly? only to my enemies but to think about it again i don’t want to be known for suggesting this book i rather be caught dead. /
