Good story, but I don't think I'm a fan of Twain's writing style.

Mark Twain writes the best first person narrative voice I have ever read. He's so witty that I caught myself laughing out loud several times. It's a good thing nobody else was around because I probably would have been committed. The story itself is one of those 'too good to be true' type of old ta...

Part of me wonders if you get your book lover card taken away from you if you end up disliking a literary classic? I really loathed this book from beginning to end. Truth be told, I am not really a Mark Twain fan at all. Every time we had a choice between reading one of his stories in English class ...

I read this before, twice likely. I remember my college English teacher's being enamored by this book. I'm pretty sure I liked it back in the dark ages. I still like it: it's a wonderful book. Huck Finn is a kid from the wrong side of the tracks. He ends up with a small fortune and is adopted by a w...

The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is a sequel of sorts. First came The Adventures of Tom Sawyer which Huckleberry Finn was a character in just as Tom Sawyer was in this one. In this adventure Huckleberry runs away from his alcoholic father and along the way runs into a slave Jim, who is trying to...
