Readers meet Huck Finn after he's been taken in by Widow Douglas and her sister, Miss Watson, who intend to teach him religion and proper manners. I would recommend this book to children over 10, about 13, who have already read 'The Adventures of Tom Sawyer' as it will introduce them to the characters in a much more vivid way.

It was funny, but also quite sad at the same time, when 2 men are introduced, one who claims to be the duke of Bridgewater, and one who claims to be the son of Louis 16th. I couldn't stop crying when Huck had lost Jim, and I couldn't see how he would ever come back to Tom Sawyer. The book plays a game of coincidence, like in Oliver Twist, where Oliver meets with his father's friend, and meets his Aunts, as Huckleberry Finn meets with Tom Sawyer, his long-lost friend, on Phelps's plantation, trying to free Jim, a black man, from the prison.Īt the beginning of the book, I didn't like it much until Huck went to the circus, when I couldn't stop laughing at the vivid description, making it seem as if I was there next to Huck, looking at the drunkard revealing himself as one of the circus clowns. Like Charles Dickens, who makes the rich pay attention to the poor, Mark Twain explains what the bad things of slavery are to the white, and mocks the life of the rich, saying how it can be reformed by the homeless like Huck. I think that 'The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn' is a good book, it follows 'The Adventures of Tom Sawyer' and introduces American language to European readers. I would review 'The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn' as a 5-star book because it has an anti-slavery message, an amusing plot, and it is very moving.
