cornwall,NY 6th grade student

Hi,I am a student in Cornwall New York. I thought this book was good but not great, so I gave it 3 stars. The part that I liked a lot and thought that it was very clever, was when "Huck" killed the pig and spread the blood all over to make his dad think that someone murdered him and took "Huck's" body away. Another thing that I thought was clever was that "Huck" ran into the runaway slave that everyone was looking for. The slave's name was Jim. I loved that Jim and "Huck" stayed together on the adventure for the whole book.I also liked that the author,Mark Twain,made it that "Huck" and Jim kept running into problems and kept thinking creativily to get out of the conflict. The raft was also pretty cool because it had a tent and a rutter, but the cool thing was, it was all made out of wood. Another part of the story I liked was when "Huck" disguised himself as a girl by dressing up in a really girly dress.That is how and why I like the book,The Adventures of Huckelberry Finn:Down The River.I highly recommend reading this book over and over again.

Huck Finn

The story of Huckleberry Finn is well known. Most have already read about him and his good

friend Tom Sawyer, but every time you read it is still a great book. Some good parts are when

Huck escapes from his father, or when he finds a run-slave on an island. He also saves 2 conartists

that say they are royalty. Its just one adventure after another.
I loved this book because of the adventure, the trouble Huck and Tom get into, and also because of the people in the story. I liked the ideas or plans just to make an adventure. This is a great book that any age group would like. I loved this book and you will to

Great Classic!

I got this book for my 8 year old because he's been bored with the reading materials given to him at school. The problem with finding more challenging reading materials is that they usually have too mature content. Something not appropriate for an 8 year old. So, I decided to find some classics that would challenge his vocabulary and still be of interest to a young boy. This one is PERFECT! He loves it, it is a bit of a challenge and I don't have to worry about what he's learning at too early an age or answer questions that he shouldn't be asking just yet.

Going back to some classics was one of my shiniest moments.

Being "sivilized" doesn't mean anything

I absolutely loved this book. It was assigned for my American Lit class this semester. The book is told in the voice of Huck Finn, the son of the town drunk. Huck starts the novel living with the widow Douglas, who wants to "sivilize" him. He won't put up with that, however, and starts on a series down the Mississippi river in which he befriends a runaway slave named Jim. I will refrain from giving any more thoughts on the book, because although I'm sure most people know the story, I don't want to ruin it for anyone.

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. Interest was up, and essays improved. Enjoy!
