Review: I can't see how young kids have the patience to sit down and read this book. This book is to boring for me and to others. This book really sucks.

Summary: Horrible, absolutely absurd
Review: I dont really like this book because lets face it, it needs some more spice. Throughout the whole book it was just so plain and dull. Maybe this book appealled to other people hundreds of years ago, but not now!

Summary: I really thought that this was one of Twains best works.
Review: I like the way that Mark Twain puts together both fiction and nonfiction in this book. He expresses how slave traders sometimes bought slaves and traded for them. There were also alot of slaves that tried running away in the early 1800s. He makes the charactors funny and sometimes sorta off the wall but realistic.

Summary: At least the children can write, a little...
Review: It amuses me no end to see so many irate reviews, obviously written by spoiled schoolkids resenting their stoopid 'ol teacher making them read this stoopid 'ol book by some stoopid 'ol dead guy.There's rich material there for a cynic like Twain, or even more for one the likes of Ambrose Bierce or H. L. Mencken. Tiny, immature, ill formed minds incapable of grasping a truth deeper than Nintendo or Playstation lash out in outrage at a genius who holds up a mirror to expose their ignorance. The fact is, this is THE American experience of the 19th century, a microcosm of the defining characteristic of our country's beginning and of our national shame and curse. How did a nation, conceived in liberty, holding self evident so many truths about Man's rights, institutionalize the degredation of Black Americans, the utter denial of their very humanity? How could the noble idealistic American eagle ever swallow such a poisonous pill? Huck's bitter determination to "go to hell" in order to save his friend Jim is to me the most moving and courageous moment in all literature. Huck "knows" that Jim is not really human, that he is mere property, that he has no rights and deserves no consideration, and that Huck's social duty is to return the slave owner's lost property. Yet he knows even more deeply that Jim is his friend, mentor, companion, and in not saving him he will lose his own soul, regardless of what his society holds to be true. Thus Huck makes himself an outcast and outlaw in civilized society, and thus he prefigures the cataclysm of the Civil War, in which this vile contradiction nearly destroyed our nation. All the blood spilled during that war, however, has not expunged our Original Sin, and we have been paying for it ever since, and perhaps always shall. So try to expand your mind, at least accept the concept that the past is not a Real World episode in period costume, that people of another time did think and talk and act differently, that what "everybody knows" today will surely be as ludicrous a century hence as slavery may seem to us now. Reflect, also, on the courage of those who recognized evil ahead of their time and stood up to it, even though in this case such a hero is a fictionalized semi-literate boy.

Summary: The adventures of Huck Finn was difficult to follow.
Review: This book had many subplots within it, and really did not make much sense. It is a book that could have been shortened about 100 pages!

Summary: Great adventure/drama
Review: I think the book was very exciting and I would tell any of my friends to read this book. I think that Mark Twain is a brillant novelist and he will never be replaced.

Summary: Entertaining, as well as literary
Review: The book has its entertaining and literary value. On the one hand, Mark Twain, as a humorous writer, created a lot of fun in this book, such as the "revised" soliloquy of Hamlet. On the other hand, the book is a vivid reflection of the life in the 19th century.Whenever Huck went to a new place, the detailed description of this place helps me enter the world of earlier times. In addition, this book also has linguistic value. Although the languages spoken here are not standard, they give me a different view of how other languages reflect their cultures. If you appreciate the secenery of 19th century America and the beauty of languages, this book is a good choice.

Summary: Classic Boredom At Its Best
Review: When I first picked up the book to read for my tenth grade English class, I thought to myself, "Hey, it's a Twain book! I'm sure it'll be great!" Boy, was I wrong! Historically speaking, the book was accurate with its use of racial slurs, societal views, etc. Twain's colorful use of dialect was interesting, albeit difficult to sift through at times. Also, Twain's vivid descriptions absorbed me into the book and made my feel as if I were sitting next to Huck and Jim on their raft. However, those factors definitely did not make up for the boredom experienced as I read the book. The characters were bland and unappealing, the plot was absurd and dull, and the hefty symbolism was annoying. Sure, "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" is a literary classic. That doesn't mean that it's great. For the modern readers of today, this is boredom-inducing material.

Summary: I think that this novel was difficult at some points.
Review: I think that Huck Finn was not my favorite novel. At some points in the book I had trouble understanding some of the events. The way Jim talked sometimes confused me. Other times, the book was funny. I enjoyed the part where Huck dressed as a girl and went into the camp. Then a woman figured out that he was a guy. Mark Twain uses humor in his books to keep the readers attention and I think that he could have used more at some points in Huck Finn.
