The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn

JJJJ
My View:   I really enjoyed this book. It is filled with the magical perception and witty tone that makes you believe that Mark Twain is really a child. Huck Finn has a strong voice and pattern of thinking which makes the narration seem real and honest. The characters are all well-rounded and realistic, and the plot is fantastic at times but always understandable, hilarious, and imaginative. I loved Huck's run-ins with robbers, friends, enemies, civilization, and con-men. It made for a fun read which I would have enjoyed even more if it weren't being read for school! A great book about the joy, freedom, and thoughts of childhood. The book has a special spice and flavor that only a boy named Huckleberry Finn (or Samuel Clemens) can put in a novel. Worth re-read and follow-up.
