This was my 72nd book finished in 2025.
I read Huck Finn a couple years ago, and I believe I enjoyed that one more than this. I felt it had more of a plot; this book kind of zigzagged all over the place, before following a storyline half way through.
I quite liked how it ended, although I much prefer Huck Finn as a character.
It's a bit of a romp. It's very charming to see old slang and bygone ways of life from the mid-19th century. Although the references to slavery and racial slurs is uncomfortable and could easily have been left out. Ahh, America. Have you always been so backwards?
