Publisher Description
Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (or, in more recent editions, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn) is a novel by Mark Twain, first published in the United Kingdom in December 1884 and in the United States in February 1885. Commonly named among the Great American Novels, the work is among the first in major American literature to be written throughout in vernacular English, characterized by local color regionalism. It is told in the first person by Huckleberry "Huck" Finn, a friend of Tom Sawyer and narrator of two other Twain novels (Tom Sawyer Abroad and Tom Sawyer, Detective). It is a direct sequel to The Adventures of Tom Sawyer.
Customer Reviews
Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
The writing style makes this difficult to read, but well worth the effort.
It has been a long time since I last picked up a book by Twain. It won't be very long before I pick up another. His writing style and descriptive narrative paint a vivid and humorous picture of life among the people struggling to survive in a hard world and a very different one.
Pick it up and read it. It really is worth the effort.
