Take the "A," Twain

Date of Review:  Mar 1, 2001
The Bottom Line: A must-read, for fun, for thought, for adventure, for being taken to another America, whose painful legacies haunt the country to this day.
Review: Unlike a lot of youngsters, I was not forced to read "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" in school by some classroom tyrant; I discovered it of my own free will, and was glad I did. Even granted that you have to read the high-spirited "Adventures...

Twain's The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn: A Piece of our Past

Date of Review:  Jan 24, 2001
The Bottom Line: I recommend that everyone read this book at some point in their life; suggested for ages 13 and up.
Review: Whether you agree with the ideas present in this book or not, the issues addressed are vital pieces of American history involving slavery and racism and its inherence in the raising of children. Many have spoken on the issue of this book since its...

Why Huckleberry is Popular

Date of Review:  Feb 26, 2001
The Bottom Line: The older you get, the more you will appreciate the book. It is funny, only if you pay attention. The way the charachters talk is odd, but funny.
Review: Huckleberry Finn in my opinion is sometimes very boring and quite aggravating. I would have read the book later in my life, but school forced me into this book. Reading it wasn't hard or bad, except for the way people spoke. There were some funny...

Huck Finn: The great American novel?

Date of Review:  Apr 9, 2001
The Bottom Line: Great story, by a great author (Mark Twain). I hope you like satire if you read this. Great subtext
Review: In Mark Twain?s satirical novel The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Twain debunks many of society?s silly practices. Twain attacks the ?sophisticated? people of the south with great fervor. Twain did not care much for the southern wealthy, and he...

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...

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.

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...

Huck Finn must be IN your life

Date of Review:  Apr 30, 2001
The Bottom Line: Another classic in which you would be labeled a deprived child if you never read it.
Review: In The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Mark Twain creates an innocent narrator, Finn, to show that people should think for themselves. Finn is presented with various communities, yet always remains unaffected by negative influences. Twain shows that...
