Summary: On the contrary.....
Review: I must disagree with the few teenagers who complain about such a masterpiece as Huck Finn. I too was "forced" to read this book in tenth grade and I truely enjoyed it.

Summary: A story proving Americas originality
Review: This story is true example of the development of American Literature as its own form of writing. This book is just a better example of Marks Twains creative writing style and his ability to use slang in a story. I myself read lots of novels and I would have to say that this story is the foundation to the writing styles of many famous authors of today.

Summary: The worst book ever
Review: This was the most boring book ever even though it was supposed to be classic. Mark Twain must have been mad at the world when he wrote that book because anyone that read it suffered. It was not very interesting and often caused me to doze during class. This book does not appeal to most teenagers and teachers should not make their students read this book. ~Lara~

Summary: A novel for all ages.
Review: I have read HF three times: first in junior high for fun, second in college lit for credit, and third as an English teacher (for a paycheck). Enjoyed it every time.

Summary: Gotta love the slang
Review: Reading the slang in this novel sure beats reading the formal English of snobby, dull authors. The vernacular is fun. I don't give a damn about the so-called proper English. If you don't enjoy the language in this text, then go read any 18th or 17th century English text, and tell me which is more entertaining to read. I enjoy watching Twain break the grammar rules we all learned in English class. It is not that he does not know the rules, he just wants to be creative. Breaking the rules for grammar allowed him more space for creativity.

Summary: Try reading the book, rather than whining about it
Review: <sarcasm> I feel sorry for you poor children who are being *forced* to learn something about American history by reading the classic Huckleberry Finn. How dare these teachers use methods other than rote memorization to teach you about 19th century America? Shame, shame on them. </sarcasm>At least children, being children, can be excused for lack of prespective and/or attention span. What truly burns me is the *adult* children who take it upon themselves to *ban* books, such as Huck Finn, based solely on the presence of six-letter "n" words which they've been taught to hate -- without properly knowing why, as they haven't even bothered to read the hated book which best explains it. Shame on them.

Summary: Horrid
Review: The improper English in this book detracted immensely from the story, making every sentence a chore to read. This book was required reading for my tenth grade English class, and I had to buy the Cliff Notes because I couldn't stand reading one more "aint".

Summary: It'a A Classic!
Review: This is a classic story by the wonderful and famous author Mark Twain. It is shows readers the strength of friendship and talks about the racial conflicts at that time. It has some points where it is hard to follow Jim but otherwise it is a good book and has some interesting historical remarks. Be sure that you are mature enough to handle racial remarks in the book though.
Rating:
Summary: This book is a great classic, but not for anyone below 10.
Review: This book has its funny side and its bad side. I am only 11 years old, and I did not enjoy the Southern Accent that every character had, and its foul language, including the n-word, which gets extremely annoying for a 6th grader, who is taught in school not to use bad words, and make fun of fellow classmates.
