The language is neither disturbing or problematic. I read it first at 14 or 15 in the early 1970s. I grew up in a area of Chicago where many people spoke this way. I have read it a few times over many years and have a better understanding…

With the exception of Jim, they just spent their time conspiring on how to get over on someone. It became tiresome and annoying.

This is an awesome book that gives a wonderful look at the time period. You get a good look at the good and bad of that time as well as the adventures and misadventures of a boy.

The good: I thought the book was (almost) as good as The Adventures Of Tom Sawyer. This book definitely carries the sense of adventure that the original has, and it also has some concepts, such as guilt, and foolishness, that the original…

I read this book four times a day for the four years that I taught 9th-grade high schoolers in the seventies. I read it again this year for my parish book club. It gets better every time. Pap cussin' out the guv'ment, the Duke and the…

This is it: the Great American Novel. Look no further.

Here’s an iconic mid 19th century book set on the Mississippi River with cringeworthy language and racial baggage to match. It’s the story of an ignorant boy slowly overcoming his wicked upbringing by getting to know and love a runaway…

In the Missouri river town where he lives, Huck Finn doesn't really fit in. His abusive drunk of a father is rarely around (arguably a good thing), and had the Widow Douglas not taken him in he'd have nowhere to live at all. The widow…

The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is another classic American novel written by Mark Twain, which continues on from where his previous book on Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn left off. However, as the title suggests, the main character of this…

Visited Mark Twain's home in CT on our way to tour Civil War battle sites. Realizing Huck befriends Jim, a runaway slave, my interest is peaked to have a look back in time. Befriending Jim seems easy as he is so likable. Use of the N word…

Lurking under the fun and surprisingly lyrical writing about nature is a reminder (the book was written 20 years after the Civil War) of how immoral slavery was.

The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn can be used as a refreshing and humorous read, but is also a novel that displays great depth in character and story. However, it is worth mentioning that the literature, slang, and thick accent used can…

Since I finished Sourdough on the flight to Chicago, I needed another book to get me through my flight home. While exploring the city, I stopped into a used book store and looked through some options. This was one I hadn't read before, so…

Using the semi-literate Huck to narrate this tale is very effective at leading to the conclusion that even an unschooled child can reach the conclusion that owning another person is not right or fair. The only problem is that in order to…
