A true American masterpiece
This book has the reputation in some quarters as the greatest American novel, and now that I have finally read it, I can see why. Mark Twain's great achievement is to write a story that is so thrilling, engaging and, at times, laugh out loud funny, yet can also be appreciated on a very deep level.
Huck Finn resists being "civilized," but he proves to have a practical intelligence and an ...

One of my favorites! Why do people hate it?
First off, I love this book and I was very mad to hear stuff like "All people who like it are stupid" I read one review where the person said "It shows how stupid Anericans can be" You misspelled Americans buddy! People did talk like that. I know because they still talk like that. I loved the language, and snobs who just turn their noses up and say "that's not proper English!" are obnoxious and ...

Update your Library
I have been a long-time lover of Mark Twain's books. And being analytical, I want to know why something is written the way it is; I want to know the historical details behind his expression. So when I find that the Mark Twain Library has published Huckleberry Finn the way Mark Tain wanted it (unlike every edition that's ever been published, including the first!), I had to get it. Using all the ...

Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (Modern Library Classics)7 reviews
Mark Twain
Modern Library, 2001
Colorful and darkly funny satire
Twain's colorful and darkly funny critique of the antebellum American South is no less stinging (and no less controversial) 125 years after it was first published. Its satire of race relations, vigilantism, hypocrisy, and romanticism may remain just as relevant, but it's Huck and Jim's travels down the Mississippi River - the quintessential journey to reinvent oneself - that makes Huck Finn the ...

Pleasantly surprised!
I teach high school English, and some students just can't catch Twain's humor without hearing his "voice." I found these recordings to be an effective way to jump-start my students' understanding of Twain's style of writing...many would have jumped ship straight to the cliff (notes, that is.) I planned 2-3 class periods to listen to some of my favorite passages, and it was a great success. ...

The Greatest American Novel
"Huckleberry Finn" by Mark Twain is the greatest American novel. Because it is our greatest novel it has been reviewed, analyzed, admired and vilified probably more than any book in American literary history.
Everyone knows the story. Huckleberry Finn is a character introduced in "Tom Sawyer". He's the neglected son of the town drunk. After discovering a small fortune with Tom at the end ...

Great rendition.
Jack Lemon takes a rare and wonderful turn at narrating in Mark Twain's The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. This adaptation of the Twain classic seems crisper, capturing the feel of youth. It has never sounded better. The spry Mr. Lemon breathes life into this worn classic. This is a keeper for all ages.

A Student's Review by SM
The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is certainly a highly controversial book, but you can really enjoy it if you try to read it as a unique piece of writing, because there aren't really any other pieces of fiction written like it, except for maybe Tom Sawyer.
At the beginning of the book Huck Finn is thirteen years old. His father is a drunk who lives slightly out of town and usually leaves ...

We loved it so much we're buying it!
My husband rented this from our local library for our 3 boys, himself, and his dad to listen to on their way to fish camp this summer. They loved it so much that we decided to get our own copy. Excellently read! Very enjoyable. Every boy (and girl) would love it!

Excellent Audio CD of Classic
Finally, a reading of a classic that is worth the money. This story's narration covers a total of 9 Cds, and each disc has about 97 tracks (each track is only about 30 to 45 seconds). The good aspect of this is that it is quite easy to find your spot and, then pick up where you left off, if you happen to stop reading in the middle of a chapter. The negative aspect of short tracks is that it is ...

"When I couldn't stand it no longer, I lit out."
The greatest American novel, still. The country it sees is still in front of our eyes. The Americans it shows, we still are, though we live nearer to highways now than rivers. Twain's tale can be read both intellectually (yuck) as symbolic of the American quest for masterlessness (see Studies in Classic American Literature by D.H. Lawrence) and as a kid-on-a-raft-let's-see-what-happens story. Art ...
