huge part of the reasoning behind this low rating is that i am simply not a fan of twain’s writing style. had to read this book for school, and i’ve thoroughly enjoyed other assigned books — huck finn is not one of them. the plot and the dynamic between huck and jim were captivating in the earlier and mid stages, and then it seems like twain lost the plot of his own book by the end. individual character development gets thrown out the window for both characters; jim gets sidelined and i find he isn’t written with the same integrity as earlier, and huck seems to forget literally every lesson he’s learned over the course of the book. yes, i understand he’s some little white boy who never learns his lesson and that may very well be the point, but it made me absolutely hate the kid by the end and i found him insufferable. not my kind of book i guess.
