The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, by Mark Twain, is a great American tale about a a crazy kid named Huck, and his black friend Jim. Huck is a wild boy who is uneducated and has no intent to every be civilized. Unfortunately Huck is also burdened by his drunk father and the fact that many people are trying to civilize him. In the end Huck decides to run away. This is the start of his many adventures. On the way he meets up with Jim who seems to also have his own troubles. Together, they both head down the river trying to escape from all their worries. Along their travels they get mixed up in some crazy events and Huck begins to learn a thing or two about himself. It's a great story for anyone who loves good old fashion writing. This book has many great characters that I'm pretty sure everyone can relate to. I read it because Mark Twain has always been a great author. His books go down as some of the best in American History. And that's the reason I finished the book. It's a funny and strange book. I give it a good 4.5 out of 5. The only bad thing that got my attention was that it was written a southern dialog. So it is a very hard book to read. But eventually it grows on you. I recommend it to all teens. Believe me it's a book you can have fun with so get yourself a copy.
