The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn

The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn was a very interesting book and it really enforced me to focus on what i was reading instead of just reading the words. The dialouge was difficult to understand because Mark Twain used words that actually would have been said in that time period. Now days most people dont talk like that so i wasn't used to it. I didn't like that particular thing about the book because it took me forever to read the book. I kept having to go back over everything i read just to understand it.

I did enjoy the book though. The main reason i would have to say was the way Mark Twain really made it seem like Huck was telling the story instead of himself. If i didnt know who the author was i would have guessed Huck Finn wrote the story. He really got into character. The adventures Huck and Jim had were beyond what i would have come up with. The way Huck tricked everyone into thinking he was dead and escaping from his father, how Huck ended up finding Jim on the island, and meeting the King and the Duke. Every adventure made the book more enjoyable.

Mark Twain also did a wonderful job making Huck as much of a boy as possible. I mean he gave him all the qualities of a young boy. Such as: always thinking up brilliant plans, trying to escape the bad, helping a friend even if it was wrong to other people, and of course noticing pretty girls. The way Huck let Jim come along with him even though he knew if he was caught it would be very ugly. Also by trying to get rid of the King and the Duke when he knew all they were doing was scamming people and taking their money. Taking the money that the king and the duke basically stole because they pretended to be related to the deceased.

All in all i thought it was a good book. Not one of my favorites, but im certainly glad i read it. The adventures, the lying, the friendships, and the people Huck and Jim met along their journey was all a great story. This book definately opened my eyes to different types of books to read and i learned alot.
