The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn Tom Sawyer Comrade eBook Mark Twain
I wanted to re-read this due to the discussions of removing it from school libraries and required reading lists related the use of a certain word. I read this in the fifth grade, and at that time, it was simply a great adventure of two boys . Now, over 50+ years later I see it in an entirely different light. It is not just an adventure of two boys... but also a social and political commentary on slavery. Now I truly appreciate the significance and genius of Mark Twain. It is a part of our history that we need to study and learn from. Like the Holocaust...we should never forget.Product details

The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn Tom Sawyer Comrade eBook Mark Twain Reviews
This review is just about format and readability.
I downloaded the free edition of the book. It's the one with the generic red and buff cover and the "Public Domain Book" stamp on the front.
It is a fine copy for general reading purposes. Displays well on my Touch and on my Fire. Formatting, layout, paragraph and page breaks, fonts, and general readability are fine.
So, if you just want a handy, free version, this will serve that purpose well.
I grew up with Mark Twain stories and essays. I read Huck Finn as a child and evidently I read the white-washed homogenized "kids" version because this original transcription contains all the local dialects and nuances that would not be interesting to a kid. I have to say this is the adult version of what became a children's adventure tale. Yes, the N word is used, and appropriately in the context of the story. I wish I could have read this original text when I was a child and could identify with the linguistic pronunciations. This Huck was more adult and endearing than I remember it as a child. It was loose, disordered and not at all interesting back then. This book was more than satisfying for the humor, outrageousness and sweet and moving friendships that are timeless and give a glimpse of what life was like in the rural country along the Mississippi. I highly recommend reading this book and experiencing the characters anew. You will not be disappointed.
I've been a votary of Mark Twain all my life, reading everything I could/can find of his, and there's plenty. Originally read this classic, along with "Tom Sawyer" as a young boy. I remember this specifically because I was so proud of my new book, in which I had written my name and age - 11 years old. Sadly, and this is a real-life true story, our family dog ate it! I swear! Anyway, at that young age I became hooked, and shortly thereafter moved on to other Twain works. It seems the next I remember was "The Mysterious Stranger" which impacted me greatly as an adolescent teenager. After that I became, as they say - off to the races.
So, as an oldster now, while in a state of angst at having finished my last book and not having anything readily in mind to read,
I decided to journey back and re-visit my old friend Huck. Well, I wasn't disappointed. Still brought tears to my eyes as I laughed uncontrollably at all the idiotic and downright dumb carrying-ons the characters engage in. But of course, as always, Twain's characters exhibit some good ways too, to offset the bad.
This story is a classic for a reason. In the end, Mark Twain's understanding of the vagaries, complexities, and plain silliness of humans, and our human nature, was simply--to me--uncanny. And his ability to portray this through funny, whimsical, and often satirical storytelling was better than anyone else, before or after. People do good, bad, crazy, rational, silly, inexplicable, and more...stuff. All the time. They always have and they always will. They can't help themselves. They're human. Mark Twain's exposition of this was - is - a GIFT to mankind.
As an aside, and as a special bonus in reading Mark Twain, I find it extra refreshing to read un-revised, unvarnished, un-PC tainted, true-to-life depictions of the way things actually were. So, if you can't or are too sensitive to deal with reality, then my recommendation is that you stay in your sanitized bubble, and deprive yourself of the joys of the truth. It really is your loss.
For all the rest, just read and enjoy!
