having never read “huckleberry finn” I have no point of reference. nonetheless, this book reads like an updated classic, so I think it successfully attained its goal.
I loved the depth given to each character and the constantly twisting plot. the last 30 pages were excellent and very powerful. however, it felt like we didn’t get any closure with huck; the last time we see him doesn’t at all feel like it should be the last time.
this book came highly recommended and with countless terrific reviews, and I think it’s well worth the read. it’s an entertaining and valuable piece of literature.
