Summary: Huckleberry Finn is, at heart, a story of friendship
Review: Too often Huck Finn is pushed in front of students who are already balking at it's thickness with a preface of it being a hallmark of racial relations. Unfortunately, this tag misses the mark and underrates one of the finest pieces of American fiction. Huck Finn is less about race than it is about friendship and commitment. It is Jim's faith and love that makes the raft a home such as Huck has never known. Similarly, it is Huck's maturing regard for Jim that marks the book as a coming of age phenomenon. Certainly by today's standards, Huck Finn, with its racial slurs, mocking language and condescending points of view can be labeled as nothing but a racist text. Yet beyond the political incorrectness lies a greatness of character development that is worth many re-readings.

Summary: Possibly the greatest American Novel ever-written
Review: Mark Twain's "The Adventure's of Huckleberry Finn," is arguably the greatest American novel ever-written. Twain in his characteristic satiric fashion constructs an avator for freedom in Huckleberry Finn, and a comment on American society in the 1800s through his beautiful idiomatic prose. As Huck winds down the meandering Mississippi, the reader is wisked away on a page-turning sojourn like no other. However, most readers will make this book more than a sojourn; this book will become a torn and tattered escape that barely rests on their bookshelves before going on another journey with another mind. A 10 out of 10, which symbolizes the beauty of literature, and the real reason why reading a book will exist long after computers become a trite household appliance- this book is transportable and 2 1/2 inches of sure beauty. No metal, no chips, just literary genius

Summary: The Great ominiscent novel
Review: WEll, what comes to mind when reading Huckleberry Finn at first was superstitious. As I fisrt opened up the book I was so so curious about reading the novel because it had so many interesting things that appeared on the front cover of the book. The cover of the book seemed to be a catching title so I decided to read the book and check it out becausse mostly all my friends have read this book and asked them what the book was about they said it was a cool book so now I decided to read it.
The first chapter was interesting it was about Mark he found six thousand dollars a piece in a cave and he gave the money to judge Thatcher and so the judge gave him back n his friend a dollar piece everyday for interest. Tom and his friend seemed trouble for towards this. Tom and Mark seemed to be very enthusiastic about hanging around together.
I thought the first few chapters were very catching and appealing towards others. But as I kept at it reading the book I found a lot bias surrounding the book. I couldn't believe this there was so much hate and foul language in the book. My thoughts towards the book began to dread away.A book title can describe a thousand words but when siting down and reading the book I found that the book was totaly out of my league to read I was so astonished by the language that was being used and expressed at others. I hope that I will never ever find a book this upseting and full of rubbish language.

Summary: Mark Twain's Masterpiece
Review: Without reserve, this is the best of all Mark Twain's not inconsiderable body of work. If you read *Huck Finn* as a child, you owe it to yourself to reread it; it is the kind of story that appeals on many levels and is still as fresh and delightful as ever. Mark Twain succeeds in keeping a serious thread at its core through a string of frankly hilarious adventures, passing judgement on slavery, religion, and politics. Far more than a period piece, it indures with its wit and savvy to become one of the most vibrant of America's classics

This adventure story is the origin of the two origanal bad boys, Huck and Finn, and has a enormse amount of short stories, plays and movies following it. I recomend this book for everyone, n matter how old or young and taste of books.

Summary: For the Adventure of It!
Review: Hallo,
Tom Sawyer here. I seen they wuz havin' this here book re-
view contest, so I figgered I'd write in to tell the folks
my two bits 'bout the book made by my bosom friend, Huck
Finn. I says to my Aunt Polly, says I, "I can't believe
them pack of flatheads is aimin' to just give away $100
worth of books, but I reckon that's their bizness." At any
rate, just so you know, Huck's book, THE ADVENTURES OF
HUCKLEBERRY FINN, it come out after the book Mr. Mark Twain
made about me and some of my adventures.
Huck's book is just bully! He kinda picks up where Mr.
Twain left off in the Adventures of Yers Truly. Like my
story, it's chock full of high adventure, with new dangers
'round every bend of the ole river. Huck escapes from his
evil pap with a grand scheme and then meets up with the
runaway slave, Jim, and sets out to help him to freedom.
He has powerful many struggles 'long the way, 'bout more'n
a body can stand, includin' havin' to deal with two rap-
scallions posin' as a king and a duke. I don't figger in
much till t'wards the end, but then I'm powerful glad I
come along cuz I has to help Huck get Jim free of some
capters, and do it the proper way, with style. Huck, he
ain't never read the books on how these things is done, so
I always has to learn him.
Do yerself a favor and read this great adventure yarn. Sure, it's got a few stretchers in it, but what adventure
yarn don't? It's the bulliest--Honest Injun!

Summary: Please!
Review: Who the hell is this Mark Twain character?! Simply put: What a lousy novel! Maybe this was his first novel...I don't know. Anyways, I sure hope he doesn't plan on writing anything else. I read this book, initially, in the author's native bulgarian language...and it was even worse! The translator was probably trying to do us a favor by touching up this P.O.S. novel, but I think it would take an act of God to save this text...

Summary: One Lousy Escapade
Review: The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, by Mark Twain, is a dull book that is kept alive only by its strong moral lesson that contradicts the rights of slavery. Jim, an African-American runaway slave, is on the search for his own freedom by escaping to the south. Shortly into his journey, he phenomenally runs into and befriends Huck, a rambunctious wild child who is also coincidentally running away from home! Although the lesson is important, I found that it clouded Twain in his ability to entertain me as a reader. Insignificant chapters and random characters slowly drag along as Huck defeats all odds in his unrealistic encounters that take place on the Mississippi River. Repeated character personalities and storyline ideas created confusion for me as I was also perplexed by Jim's heavy dialect. I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone who is actually looking for an actual action plot as it is a huge disappointment as a sequel to the thrilling Tom Sawyer novel.
