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.

Just to be clear, I didn't hate the book, it just held no interest for me. I read it for school and am glad I did, but have no intentions of reading it again any time soon.

This was not my favorite book. I don't know what it is about Mark Twain's writing, but I feel like my attention was always drifting from this book. It was not particularly complex in terms of vocabulary, but I still felt like my eyes were tempted to skim over every page.
The book brings up interesting questions, especially considering the way things 'return to normal' at the end of the novel, but I'm not sure I would ever want to teach this book. It felt lackluster and reading was a little like pulling teeth. Maybe I'm just not at a stage where I can appreciate this book - I'll have to return to it at a later date.
For now, moving on to 'House of Leaves.'

This is definitely a great adventure book. It gave a look into history that I think many feel we should close. Yes the word 'nigga' indicates how black people were enslaved... but this was the way it was a hundred years ago. To not read something because it may be offensive is ridiculous, especially considering the time era.

I particularly liked the varying voices for all the characters and Huck's struggle with what was right at the time (a nigga being property and therefore something that could be punished for helping escape) and with thinking his nigga friend was a good man and that he was evil for trying to help him and going to hell.

While he is an adventurous boy, I felt so bad for him having a really abusive father and I think it's natural for him to want to get away from someone who is making him purple and black! It's very interesting how different it was back then without many people having an education. We take it for granted now and may laugh at their lack of what we think is common knowledge, but that was the way of things than... these people weren't less than us, just thought differently.

I'm glad that I finally got to read this classic... or have Elijah Woods read it to me rather. Which he did an amazing job of!

I did this for my sons by audio off of #nook ..something for them to get into like I did when I was young ..just like the movie

I thought this was the best book we have read this year. Although it had some strange and difficult dialect, it had an interesting plot. Unlike most of the books we have read, this one was action packed and full of adventure. Overall, this was a decent book to read.

Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is a classic of author Mark Twain and is also the book in which “all modern American literature” came from. Main character, Huck, has been taught to act in a racist manner, but eventually overcomes it as the book continues. Twain’s novel incorporates the use of the “N”-word and some other dated terms to portray what the life was like during a time of severe racism and slavery. This being said, however, the novel is completely anti-racist and anti-slavery. Children may need some additional help understanding and seeing the point of how Twain uses this type of racist talk to simply show how foolish it was.

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.

This is an abridged version of Mark Twain's book. Garrison Keillor shares those parts of the book which most impressed upon him.

Finished this audiobook for my MT class. I certainly have a deeper understanding and general knowledge of the book and MT due to both. Satisfying

Actually the audio was by Elija Wood but Goodreads didn’t offer up that version. Wood was pretty good

Got a bit tired of all the “says I” and “by and byes “. But a lot of human nature surely does not change

One of my favorite Twain novels! It teaches so much!
