The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain
This is a wonderful classic novel, set in the southern United States during the late 1800's. Huckleberry Finn, a boy about 12 years old, who is illiterate, and uneducated finds himself living with his abusive father. Huck hates his life with Pap, and so he decides to fake his own death, and to venture out onto the Mississippi River. Along the way, Huck runs into a runaway slave named Jim, and together they are forced to distinguish between right and wrong. Because Jim is a runaway slave, Huck is responsible for his safety and wellbeing, so Huck also learns about morals. Throughout the book, the reader sees Huck mature into a responsible young man. This novel is very humourous, lively, exciting, and it will leave the reader with cliffhangers ever so often!
I read this book because it was required for my english class, but I am very glad I did, because it is a great novel, and it has something for everyone in it! I would have read and finished this book even if it wasnt required, because it is a classic, and gives a good insight about what life was like back in the 1800's.
I would reccomend this book to anyone who enjoys classic novels, historical fiction reads, or just to anyone who needs a good book. The dialouge can be a bit confusing, but if one reads it thoughouly, the humour will be very obvious!
