huck finn

I honestly hated this book. I had many dislikes but my main ones were what does he accomplish in the story besides he went on an adventure. My other problem was the dialogue, it drove me crazy reading words like; dey ain't, I reckon, git, nuffn else. Those were all directly out of the book. I couldn't even focus the grammar was so bad. The one part I did particularly like was when Tom and Huck were freeing Jim from the shed and Tom made it more difficult than it needed to be. I found the irony in that and it actually kept my attention for once.

I do feel however, that Mark Twain put the book in a good perspective. It didn't feel like I was listening to him tell the story as much as I was listening to Huck telling me a story. It kind of contradicts "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer", mostly because the narrator changes and I noticed that at the very beginning. Twain really gave you a feel for the south with the dialogue and how characters acted. The part I didn't really like was how people treated slaves for instance Jim, Mrs. Watson likes him and then decides to sell him, Huck thinks he is his friend but at times doubts him because of his skin color but at the end when Jim puts himself at risk when Tom gets shot Huck decides Jim is white on the inside.

The one character I could somewhat relate to would be Huck, just because I can always expect him to view things to be not as bad as they actually are. He doesn't really care that he has a drunken dad or when he's in danger. These types of things just don't really affect him. He is also a good friend to Tom, they remain good friends through the book "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer", and remain friends even after Tom thought he was murdered. That could be one of the only friendships that actually lasts in this book. All in all, I really wasn't a fan of this novel, it didn't hold my attention but don't judge the book by my post, I am very critical because I don't like reading.
