– "The Adventures Of Huckleberry Finn" has always been widely acclaimed as the first great American novel! Quite often "Huckleberry Finn" has been seen as somewhat of a children's book by people who have not read it, however, this is most definitely a misconception! True, the adventures in the book are appealing to a younger audience as they are exiting and fun, but the book deals with many serious issues from the 19th century. The book gives an excellent insight into 19th century American life. The book begins with the money Tom and Huck had found previously, 6000 dollars. Huck's drunk dad takes a great interest in this money and adopts Huck in order to get his hands on the money. However, Huck isn't about to hang around with his abusive drunken father. He sets about faking his own death and then setting out down the Mississippi river on a raft where he meets Jim, a runaway slave. A brilliant, classic and legendary novel!

– Boken er meget god. Du følger Huck Finn gjennom hans dramatiske flukt fra en voldelig far og til en friere tilværelse.
Boken er tildels voldelig, for det er mange drap og store slosskamper. Huck skjuler en rømt slave, og rives hele tiden mellom det han mener er riktig (å levere slaven tilbake til eieren) og det forkastelige og ugudelige som ligger i å hjelpe slaven. Han klarer ikke å la være, men mener han kommer til helvete for å gjøre det.
Boken kan leses av voksne og barn. Barn mellom 8 og 12 vil synes de dramatiske hendelsende er spennende, og voksne vil nyte boken på et annet plan. Alt sees gjennom Hucks øyne, og verden ser ofte absurd ut. En får også en følelse av hvordan det var da hvite så på svarte som eiendom og ikke som mennesker.
Jeg har også lest denne på norsk, og det anbefales for dem som ikke er veldig stive i engelsk. Det er utstrakt bruk av dialekt, og skriften i denne billigutgaven er ikke alltid like lesevennlig.
