Having not read Tom Sawyer I didn’t think I would enjoy this book as much as I did but I thoroughly enjoyed it. Following the trials and tribulations of Huck Finn is reminiscent of at times a troublesome teenager and others profound.
I enjoyed reading of his relationship with former slave Jim but wish this relationship was given more depth sometimes the conversations and situations became a little repetitive.
I sped through the first half of the book and found it humourous and a light hearted read however the last half, most notably the plan to break Jim free dragged and became harder to enjoy. I felt there wasn’t much happening in the second half of the novel compared to the first half which was jam packed with action.
I still really enjoyed this book and is a good introduction to classics.
