Huckleberry Finn: Searching For What's Natural And Right/Black History Month W-O

Date of Review:  Feb 28, 2004
The Bottom Line: Not sure how young Huck is, but I'm guessing around 11 or 12. Thanks, Brendan!

The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn , Mark Twain. A thorough review of this famous book

Date of Review:  Jun 18, 2004
The Bottom Line: Read this book if you like travelogues, cultural snapshots, or the Mississippi River. If you don't, don't bother , all subjects covered better elsewhere.
Review: This novel is a combination of travelogue and social commentary on the culture of the southern United States as viewed through the eyes of an itinerant teenager.

Huckleberry Finn is the fifteen year old son of the town drunk, in a small...

Timeless Classic: Huckleberry Finn

Date of Review:  Apr 29, 2007
The Bottom Line: A great book that should need no introduction, but due to misrepresentations by rogues, does. Read Huckleberry Finn for your own enjoyment and enlightenment.

We Need More Hucks (Banned Book Write Off)

Date of Review:  Sep 30, 2000
The Bottom Line: There's more to Huckleberry Finn than the dreaded "N" word!
Review: In an 1887 letter to W. D. Howells, Mark Twain wrote ?High and fine literature is wine, and mine is only water; but everybody likes water.? In one sense this is quite true of his immortal The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn; however, this classic...

Psst! Hey you! Want to read a book your school board banned?

Date of Review:  Jan 11, 2000
Review: Yes, it's true. Poor Huck Finn has been tossed out of more schools than nearly any other book in print, a victim of the touchy-feely political correctness movement. I know what you're thinking "Was it sex?" Sorry to disappoint you, but no. The...

If I'd a Knowed... I Would a Listened to Twain's Commentary

Date of Review:  Feb 23, 2008
The Bottom Line: If Twain's prequel was orange-flavored hard candy, this is a slightly dry orange in literary quality; in short, HUCKLEBERRY FINN is a worthier piece than TOM SAWYER.
Review: ROMANTICISM, RACISM, OR DANGEROUS REALITY?

Several weeks ago, I enrolled in several literature courses at university. Despite my attendance at this noble institution for two years, I had hitherto been quite unimpressed with the various...

Rowing Down the River

Date of Review:  Sep 18, 2000
Review: The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is a great American classic story. I read this book when I was in high school and again recently (more than ten years later). Both times I thoroughly enjoyed the book, but each time on a different level.

A controversial masterpiece

Date of Review:  Oct 21, 2004
The Bottom Line: A timeless classic with a powerful message about race, respect and friendship.
Review: We all know the plot, so there's no sense in rehashing it; "Huckleberry Finn" is one book that has probably been reviewed to death. But this book has generated a great deal of heat and very little light lately; it's been banned in some school...

An Annoyingly Preachy Analysis

Date of Review:  Jun 14, 2000
Review: I first read "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" when I was about nine years old. I didn't dislike it, but I had the sense that there was something in it that I wasn't quite getting, so I put it aside and returned to it about six years later, when...

Take stock with this here story.

Date of Review:  Jun 9, 2000
Review: "All modern literature stems from this one book. There was nothing before, there has been nothing as good since." I wish I could have been the one to coin that description of Twain's best known work. I guess coming from Ernest Hemingway it does...
