E's Review - Huck Finn

-Erin

Everything you would expect - friendship, adventure, a raft, a boy, bad guys, good guys and heart.

And I a lot of things I didn't expect - social issues, race, politics and vernacular that drove me crazy.

You could spend hours discussing the moral implications of this book and this time period. For whatever reason though, the romanticized illusion of Huck Finn just being the story of a boy on a raft is enough for me.

And I'm happy to have finally read Mark Twain.
