Book Reviews of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
Book Review: A Must-Read
Summary: 5 Stars
I read this book once in the 8th grade and recently as a sophomore in high school and this book has earned a place in my heart. As an 8th grader, Jim's dialect was difficult to comprehend and I didn't fully pick up on the historical satire, but it's a great adventure story that teaches a lesson. High school and up should read it. Younger readers should start with Tom Sawyer, another excellent adventure story, and read Huck Finn later (Huckleberry Finn is the sequel to Tom Sawyer).
Summary of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
This is a large (6"x9"), top-quality new edition of Mark Twain's masterpiece. Complete and unabridged. "All modern American literature comes from one book by Mark Twain called Huckleberry Finn. It's the best book we've had. There was nothing before. There has been nothing as good since." -Ernest HemingwayA seminal work of American Literature that still commands deep praise and still elicits controversy, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is essential to the understanding of the American soul. The recent discovery of the first half of Twain's manuscript, long thought lost, made front-page news. And this unprecedented edition, which contains for the first time omitted episodes and other variations present in the first half of the handwritten manuscript, as well as facsimile reproductions of thirty manuscript pages, is indispensable to a full understanding of the novel. The changes, deletions, and additions made in the first half of the manuscript indicate that Mark Twain frequently checked his impulse to write an even darker, more confrontational book than the one he finally published.
