(4.5) Almost everyone reads Huck Finn growing up, primarily as a tale of a young boy's adventure through the south. I hadn't read Huck Finn until recently and was surprised by how much I enjoyed Twain's descriptions and language. As "the" great American Novel, Huck Finn is a must-read. Twain spans challenges including from identity, friendship, independence and slavery in a single, iconic text.
I enjoyed reading The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, because in my case i love adventure books. I think there are a lot of emotions in this books, specially with the friendship between Huck and Jim. This book fulfilled the idea of making the reader understand important traits by showing them through important themes. What i mean by this, is like for example, during the adventures that Huck and Jim had, they became very close friends, and Huck learned to leave the widows teaching behind and be friends with Jim, when he wasn't supposed to be friends with Jim. He also helped him escape and be free from slavery. I enjoyed reading this book, and i would totally recommend it, specially if you like adventure books.
"The Adventures of Huck Finn" by Mark Twain is a book created in 1884 about Huckleberry Finn, a young kid you travels through a river with a runaway slave. This novel shows the growth of Huckleberry Finn as he understands more about his own actions towards Jim and thoughts regardless of what other people think of Blacks and slavery. Throughout his trip through the Mississippi river with Jim, he surrounds himself with his own lies which creates his adventures in the river.
Huckleberry fin by Mark Twain is considered by many to be a classic. It is a book perfect for adventure lovers. Adventure is shown very strongly while they travel down the river. Those who like books with realism would also like it because the people are very accurate to how people of the time period would be. It also is an excellent example of social rights problems in the past.
Ever since my 7th grade year when I read the Adventures of Tom Sawyer, I feel in love with Mark Twain books. I decided to read this one because Tom and Huck were good friends and figured I would have the same reading experience, and I was right as it met all of my expectations. Twain dealt with a lot of characterization of Huck Finn and a theme I was very passionate about which was the idea of Natural Life. As a child and sometimes now I would often go out into the woods and explore, create forts, and was a natural bonding ceremony with my family, especially my brother. I would recommend literally anyone to read this book because it is such a nice escape from the realities of the world, especially with this election just happening. But seriously, anyone who was read Tom Sawyer definitely should read this book because I met my expectations and made me want to read, which is rare because I dont like reading.
My first exposure to The adventures of Huckleberry Finn. I'll have to admit I was quite taken aback by the brashness. I'm actually surprised the book is not banned. Not that I agree with banning books at all. I actually had to look and see when this was written which kind of gave me a better understanding. The story was okay. It peaked my interest in the middle with The adventures going down the river. Then it fell flat for me when Tom Sawyer joined in. It was a little frustrating. I wanted to listen to this audiobook as a prequel to the high rated novel that is out now called James. It really wasn't my cup of tea this book but I do appreciate the experience of listening to a classic though.
Read this book originally about 40 years ago when I was 12, just got done listening to it on audio. I much enjoyed Twain's discrete social commentary throughout. Also as an audiobook it was helpful with the different dialects in Twain's writing. Available as a download from LibriVox for your mp3 player.
This is the story of a young boy named Huckleberry Finn and his childhood adventures with a slave name Jim. Said adventures range from escaping from a family that is real life representation of a lovers quarrel gone wrong to shacking up with a pair of con men. I really enjoyed this book because it served as a showcase for Mark Twain's comedic talent. Every page is overflowing with humor, whether the joke be small or huge. I also liked the fact that Mark Twain parodied many things about society at the time. Any other author might have been quite afraid to do this because of the fact that they would be shunned and considered a pariah, but not Twain. Twain tackles all the issues that he brings up in the book head on and does a very good job of it. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys the great American novel or enjoys books that have a wry sense of humor.
