The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn can be used as a refreshing and humorous read, but is also a novel that displays great depth in character and story. However, it is worth mentioning that the literature, slang, and thick accent used can be difficult to portray or read. The book is about a young 12-14 year old boy that explores the social aspects and adventures that exist in a 1830's Mississippi environment. Huckleberry Finn runs away from home and meets up with a runaway slave named Jim. The novel explores the racial interaction that Huck struggles with Jim and how his conscience feels about it. When reading, it becomes apparent that Huck is battling with his own conscience against what is right in the society's view. There is also religion involved in the story and it effects the way Huck thinks. Despite running away, he continues to run into many of the same issues that he had at home. I would highly recommend The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn to anyone looking for an enjoyable and comedic, but also a meaningful novel full with layers of worthwhile thinking. I give The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn an 8.5/10.
