Summary
You don't know about me， without you have read a book by the name of "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer，" but that ain't no matter。
So begins， in characteristic fashion， one of the greatest American novels。 Narrated by a poor， illiterate white boy living in America's deep South before the Civil War， Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is the story of Huck's escape from his brutal father and the relationship that grows between him and Jim， the slave who is fleeing from an even more brutal oppression。 As they journey down the Mississippi their adventures address some of the most profound human conundrums: the prejudices of class， age， and colour are pitted against the qualities of hope， courage， and moral character。
Enormously influential in the development of American literature， Huckleberry Finn remains a controversial novel at the centre of impassioned critical debate。 This edition discusses all the current issues and the evolution of Mark Twain's penetrating genius。

I know this is a profound read， THE Great American Novel， but I found it exhausting compared to Tom Sawyer。 I did love the deep dive into the characters of Huck and Jim， and of course， all the meaning packed into this narrative。 The thick accents of each character and day to day language of this time period made for a slow read。I don't have anything else to say that hasn't already been articulated in another review。 I'm sure I'll read it again someday， but I was more happy to hit the end than an I know this is a profound read， THE Great American Novel， but I found it exhausting compared to Tom Sawyer。 I did love the deep dive into the characters of Huck and Jim， and of course， all the meaning packed into this narrative。 The thick accents of each character and day to day language of this time period made for a slow read。I don't have anything else to say that hasn't already been articulated in another review。 I'm sure I'll read it again someday， but I was more happy to hit the end than anything this time。 。。。more

Må innrømme at jeg har vurdert å bygge meg en flåte og eventyre meg nedover Glomma etter å ha lest om Huck Finn — kanskje jeg også møter på en hertug og en konge？？ Artig bok， men litt vanskelig å lese， og tidenes mest irriterende slutt。 TA DEG EN BOLLE， TOM SAWYER！

Read some real bootleg 1962 Scholastic version with a misleadingly pastoral Huck on the cover。It's pretty funny to read this book straight after The Adventures of Tom Sawyer; Huck has previously seen a man killed in a cemetery and made a fortune from pirate gold， and now all this new crazy shit happens to him。 It makes me curious to read the just-in-it-for-the-cash two sequels that followed。 But whereas Tom Sawyer and those are mostly but parody， this book elevates to something like a parable Read some real bootleg 1962 Scholastic version with a misleadingly pastoral Huck on the cover。It's pretty funny to read this book straight after The Adventures of Tom Sawyer; Huck has previously seen a man killed in a cemetery and made a fortune from pirate gold， and now all this new crazy shit happens to him。 It makes me curious to read the just-in-it-for-the-cash two sequels that followed。 But whereas Tom Sawyer and those are mostly but parody， this book elevates to something like a parable of America。 Everyone's a liar here， but some are just better at it。 My favorite parts are when Huck and Jim are drifting on their raft through the antebellum nearly post-apocalyptic landscape， forced to encounter every now and then the unending terrors and stupidities of this great big stupid， terrific country。 After witnessing the horrific massacre of a family for the sake of a pointless， eternal feud， a family who'd befriended him， Huck returns to the raft and Jim and writes，I never felt easy till the raft was two mile below there and out in the middle of the Mississippi。 There we hung up our signal lantern， and judged that we was free and safe once more。 I hadn't had a bite to eat since yesterday， so Jim he got out some corndodgers and buttermilk， and pork and cabbage and greens- there ain't nothing in the world so good when it's cooked right- and whilst I eat my supper we talked and had a good time。 I was powerful glad to get away from the feuds， and so was Jim to get away from the swamp。 We said there warn't no home like a raft， after all。 Other places do seem so cramped up and smothery， but a raft don't。 You feel mighty free and easy and comfortable on a raft。A wish to be cocooned from history， from the complexities and hypocrisies of adulthood， from civil war and the savagery of society and unrest， safe in their own little ecosystem， playing house as they constantly move away from everything in their little space ship。 It's a wonderful， moving passage。When Tom shows up， things get weird。 The stronger personality of the two boys， his perception of the world twists in and takes over， but it doesn't seem as much like wholesome boy fun as it did in the earlier novel。 Earlier in this novel， Huckleberry shows some resistance to Tom's romanticizing make believe （"I judged that all of that stuff was just one of Tom Sawyer's lies。 I reckoned he believed in the A-rabs and the elephants， but as for me I think different。 It had all the marks of a Sunday school。"）， demonstrating an existential complexity （maybe induced by his much shittier parental figure） that Tom lacks。 So while there's a real morbid black humor funniness to it， it's also depressing to see Huckleberry be Tom's accomplice in his warped， sadistically over-complex machinations of "rescuing" Jim from captivity， and I was always a little bit afraid their over active imaginations might lead to bad outcome for Jim a la Goodnight Mommy 。And boy is the n-word used a lot in here。 Every time you read it it's like a little prickly stab。 I thought early on about how new editions might replace it with a more neutral word like "slave" （and this before I found out how a newer edition does so！） but ultimately I think it's best for the n-word to stand， as its relentless and profuse use really articulates how dehumanizing a term it is， and how dehumanized black people were and continue to be。 。。。more

This is a great book。 I’m not sure if BPOC folks need to read it （although if they can get past “nigger” it’s an amazing read）。 but every white kid in the U。S。 should be taught thisat school。

My final "summer classic" is everything I expected from Mark Twain: witty， satirical， homespun and wryly observant。 I was familiar with TOM SAWYER but had never read this adventure。 The elephant in the room， of course， is Twain's repeated use （almost 200 references！） of the "n" word and it does jar the reader。 As much as I tell myself it is a reflection of the period， I can't help but cringe and can't imagine how people of color would react to reading this。 In addition， the last quarter of the n My final "summer classic" is everything I expected from Mark Twain: witty， satirical， homespun and wryly observant。 I was familiar with TOM SAWYER but had never read this adventure。 The elephant in the room， of course， is Twain's repeated use （almost 200 references！） of the "n" word and it does jar the reader。 As much as I tell myself it is a reflection of the period， I can't help but cringe and can't imagine how people of color would react to reading this。 In addition， the last quarter of the novel brings back Tom Sawyer with an elaborate and ultimately very tedious plan to free the enslaved Jim。 This last section seems to go on needlessly and relentlessly when I was ready to wrap up this journey。 That said， this is still an American classic and I'm glad I spent the time with Huck。 。。。more

I love the characters of Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn but these books are better as audiobooks。 I tried and could NOT get into reading this。 I guess it’s the language I’m not really sure but I would 💯 recommend the audiobooks！

Took me ages to finish。 I know it’s a classic and I can respect the craftmanship in the writing。 I just didn’t enjoyed the story and the humour at all。

I tend to find an interest in reading older， southern United States literature because it reminds me of how different society was back then。 Adventures of Huckleberry Finn had many ridiculous things occur that were only able to occur because of the environment that the southern United States had at the time。 For example， the “King” and the “Duke” that Huck traveled with at one point managed to trick （most of） an entire town that they were the relatives of a newly deceased in order to obtain a ma I tend to find an interest in reading older， southern United States literature because it reminds me of how different society was back then。 Adventures of Huckleberry Finn had many ridiculous things occur that were only able to occur because of the environment that the southern United States had at the time。 For example， the “King” and the “Duke” that Huck traveled with at one point managed to trick （most of） an entire town that they were the relatives of a newly deceased in order to obtain a massive fortune。 I personally liked The Adventures of Tom Sawyer more than Adventures of Huckleberry Finn， mainly because I now understand why Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is banned from many school libraries。 I also liked The Adventures of Tom Sawyer more because Tom Sawyer was able to make the book his own specific adventure， whereas with Huckleberry Finn， it seemed like Huck was just there to witness all the different things that went on with his own adventure。 I do really enjoy the random details that Mark Twain puts in his stories that turn out to be a huge part of the story in the end， and Huckleberry Finn did not disappoint。 I probably wouldn't recommend this book to anyone unless they really wanted to read it。 。。。more

A good example of why so many people dislike white men - this book captures masculinity and immorality in what is supposed to be a lighthearted book for kids。 It’s funny that this was part of a set of classic children’s novels I received as a gift - believe me， this is not meant for children。I do however think it would do well in the classroom if you can find a teacher that can handle the racist language。 It definitely captures a time in American history and gives a good window into the roots of A good example of why so many people dislike white men - this book captures masculinity and immorality in what is supposed to be a lighthearted book for kids。 It’s funny that this was part of a set of classic children’s novels I received as a gift - believe me， this is not meant for children。I do however think it would do well in the classroom if you can find a teacher that can handle the racist language。 It definitely captures a time in American history and gives a good window into the roots of our patriarchal， racist culture。 After 60%， I just couldn’t stand it anymore and had to stop reading。 。。。more

The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is a fantastic adventure book。 Mark Twain best captures the theme of racism in the book。 I love the stories covered， from "running away from the father" to "helping Jim to escape。" In the book， we can see that Finn has a lot of personas; he has different identities every time he leaves his canoe and only when he is back that he becomes who he really is， "Huckleberry Finn"。 It's the same with society nowadays， we always put on masks whenever we interact with oth The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is a fantastic adventure book。 Mark Twain best captures the theme of racism in the book。 I love the stories covered， from "running away from the father" to "helping Jim to escape。" In the book， we can see that Finn has a lot of personas; he has different identities every time he leaves his canoe and only when he is back that he becomes who he really is， "Huckleberry Finn"。 It's the same with society nowadays， we always put on masks whenever we interact with other people because we are too scared of showing others who we really are due to fear of judgement or adverse consequences that follow。 This may be caused by past trauma or any previous negative experience， which is sad because humans themselves cause these "trust issues"Overall， this is a great book to read。 It makes reading easier because English is not my first language so when I see grammatical errors （which are intended）， I can kinda understand what the person is trying to say。 。。。more

Jim is a funny character and the adventures are wacky， but there doesn't seem to be any cohesive philosophy， theme， or moral to the story。 Huck sort of makes it up as he goes and doesn't seem to learn anything by the end。 Lots of deus ex machina。Kind of dark， and not nearly as entertaining as Tom's story。 Would only recommend to people interested in the Tom Sawyer world。 Jim is a funny character and the adventures are wacky， but there doesn't seem to be any cohesive philosophy， theme， or moral to the story。 Huck sort of makes it up as he goes and doesn't seem to learn anything by the end。 Lots of deus ex machina。Kind of dark， and not nearly as entertaining as Tom's story。 Would only recommend to people interested in the Tom Sawyer world。 。。。more

Huck’s slow realization that freeing a slave is the right thing to do was phenomenal。 But why was Tom Sawyer in this at all？ Replace those chapters with Huck getting Jim to freedom on his own and this book is 5/5。
