James

DID NOT FINISH: 0%
I listened to the audiobook, which I’m glad I did because the narrator is fantastic.
This book seemed right up my alley, but nothing about it clicked for me. I got to chapter 26 and realized I didn’t care about any of the characters nor plot. Maybe it’s because I literally have no idea what Huckleberry Finn is even about, so I have no point of comparison.
I think it’s a bit too literary for my taste, as in its about the themes more than anything else, when I prefer character-driven stories. I see high school teachers eating this up (not a critique)
