Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain Book Review
To be honest, I liked Huckleberry Finn more than Tom Sawyer. Something about Huck Finn seems more real. Most of Tom Sawyer's jokes are ripoff of Don Quixote. Huck is more likable, more simple and innocent. The novels is narrated by Huck Finn, thus it is crude and uneducated. This adds to the charm of the book.
Anyhow, this book is a critique of the southerners and slavery. When it was published slavery was already outlaw. This had only happened like 90 years ago. Thus, I suppose this is another one of those historical comedies. In any case, many northerners did not find it hilarious the over usage of the word nigger. Then again, Huck was only using the language of the time. You cannot sensor history. Well, you could ,but then it could not be a historical fiction.
This is the sequel of Tom Sawyer. Its hilarious that the book only stops being funny when Tom Sawyer appears. That kid has a way of taking the realism out of a story. Despite the sudden, needless appearance of Tom Sawyer , Huckleberry Finn is a lovely novel. The depiction of Huck's drunken father is quite realistic. Even today, this lovely novel deserves 5 stars rating.
You know, originally this novel was going to cover Huck Finn's life from child to adulthood. Mark Twain kept putting off working on this book. One day he visited Mississippi, and saw the terrible state of the blacks. Thus, Huck Finn turned into another anti slavery novel. By this time, Slavery was abolish. However, Mark Twain was not too humored about Jim Crow laws and the separate, but equal bull. He simply saw it as change of fetters and he was right. In the South, Blacks where still treated like slaves.
