A review by biolexicon
The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain

3.0

Why didn’t anyone give this to me in middle school? I had a solid enough vocabulary to be able to comprehend classic literature, but not enough psychological development to be able to understand it. The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn would have been perfect. It would have been playful enough to keep my interest, but it still would have had enough substance to further my understanding of the world. Reading it now in college is a bit too late. The plot now seems too episodic. I know that saying so makes me seem too uppity for Twain’s lightheartedness. I wish he could have the last word and knock some of the seriousness out of me with one of his iconic deliveries of wit.
