(sorry in advance to the fans out there!) I know this is a “classic,” which is why I wanted to read it. I don’t recall ever reading it as a child, as many young people do. I had just finished The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (to which this is a sequel/spinoff) and rather enjoyed that one. I found this story disappointing in comparison, and the seeming glorification of gaslighting throughout became annoying. If I weren’t tracking books, I probably wouldn’t have finished this.
