This book is about a kid that lives in the 1700’s and his mom just dies and he gets 6000$. So his father tries to kidnap him and he gets loose and runs away. So he come along a slave plantation and stays there for a night and really likes it there. So he ask if he can live there and the owner says yes but then he meets Jim. Huck and Jim run away from the plantation to get out of the south.
Spoilers:!! I loved the book it was wrote very well and the storyline is very easy to follow. My favorite part was when they are sailing down the river in the night and they come across people looking for Jim. Huck saves Jim by letting him off and going over to the men and tell him to go the wrong way.

This book is better to be savored in a high school classroom with a passionate teacher at the helm. I have so many fond memories of sitting in tenth grade English reading and discussing Huck Finn that listening to it on my own just wasn't the same. While the audiobook narrator did a commendable job on this classic work or literature, I think it's best left to reading, preferably in a classroom setting. This is just a book that needs, cries out to be studied and discussed (despite Mark Twain's warning at the beginning of the novel).

I really liked this book because of the adventure and the awesome way that they used the vernacular of the time set in the book.

Charming!

Adventures of Huckleberry Finn was an exquisite experience and it was my pleasure reading it. Every chapter, event, and setting were projected in great details and though sometimes tiring, I loved reading every little detail. The plot was also well planned out which led to the best events. I would recommend this book to anyone that need help in social interaction and young readers that are just looking for a great adventure book.

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.

Book on CD - re-read, it has been a long time and I wanted to re-read this and Tom Sawyer. The man who reads it is wonderful, gives each character his or her own voice.

By writing the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Mark Twain searches to provide his audience with an entertaining story about his time period. By making up fictional characters that were similar to real people he knew, the author was able to create a story that would capture the attention of his readers. While I was reading this book, I always wanted to read ahead to see what would happen. That is precisely what Mark Twain wanted. Although this story is fictional, it is also a piece of history, because it provides a realistic description of what life was like living on the Mississippi River. Huck Finn contains many stories of adventure and audacity. Readers are kept on the edge of their seat throughout the book, and by doing this Mark Twain creates an enriching and entertaining novel.

tIn writing the Adventures of Huck Finn, Mark Twain tells his readers that they should live life to the fullest, and that you should never give up on the friends that are closest to you. Frightened by his father’s behavior, Huckleberry Finn fakes his death and escapes from his father’s log cabin. After doing this, Huck does not go into hiding, but decides to travel down the Mississippi in search for adventure. Along the way, he stumbles upon a runaway African-American slave that was owned in Hannibal. From that point on, they always look out for each other. A bond grows between these unlikely people, and it grows stronger with each new experience. Mark Twain tells us that all of our friendships should be as stalwart as these and we should never abandon our closest companions. Many times the duo comes across an obstacle that they must overcome together. Instead of trying to find the easy way out, Huck and Jim go the way their hearts travel, and that is the message Mark Twain hopes to convey to the world.

tMark Twain wrote this adventurous tale as a combination of both a description and a narration. He uses a set of fictional characters to explain how life was back in 1885. These characters have many adventures together, and these adventures are narrated in chronological order. Using this unique style, Mark Twain effectively provides an enriching story about life on the Mississippi. This mix of a description and narration style gives the reader the complete experience of the Adventures of Huck Finn. In writing the novel this way, Mark Twain completely illustrates the theme of his story, and no details are excluded. Many times, I could close my eyes and envision the scene perfectly from details given in the story. The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is narrated from a first-person view, and by doing this, the characters are thoroughly developed and the reader understands their personalities.

tReading the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, I was continuously entertained by the characters’ wit and sense of adventure. Huck and I are around the same age, and because of this I could relate to him very easily. I enjoyed the vast array of journeys that were traveled by Huckleberry and his fellowship. In my opinion, Tom Sawyer’s character should’ve been included more. He adds a lot to Huck’s personality, and the story amuses more whenever Tom hangs around. If Tom was to travel on the raft with Huck and Jim more, the story would be infinitely better. I would recommend this story to anyone in 6th grade or older, as it is an entertaining read for all. Anyone can connect with the characters, and this makes the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn a very enjoyable read for all.

cute story, ending was crap. wish there was a little bit more of a structured plot line. ridiculous that jim’s ending was glazed over

Classic, though with a bit too much of a happy ending. Glad i reread this since high school though.

Read this book back in elementary school. Loved it then and loved it now. What a great read about little boys and their adventures back in the day in the backwoods of the south.

I believe that the Notice provided at the very onset of the book (Persons attempting to find a motive in this narrative will be prosecuted; persons attempting to find a moral in it will be banished; persons attempting to find a plot in it will be shot.) pretty much sums of the book.

I did not find a motive, a moral, nor a plot but nevertheless found the book somewhat enjoyable. I kept wanting the book to get where it was going, only to remind myself that it wasn't going anywhere and like a raft on the Mississippi I was just going to have to sit back and enjoy the ride.

I cringed at the racism in the book, but understood that's just the way it was back then and was fascinated by how people could have once (and sadly some still) think the way they did.

Overall the book was just too slow-paced for me, but I found myself several times thinking that I needed (and should have previously) read Tom Sawyer.
