Publisher Description
Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain 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, the narrator of two other Twain novels (Tom Sawyer Abroad and Tom Sawyer, Detective) and a friend of Tom Sawyer. It is a direct sequel to The Adventures of Tom Sawyer.
The book is noted for its colorful description of people and places along the Mississippi River. Set in a Southern antebellum society that had ceased to exist about 20 years before the work was published, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is an often scathing satire on entrenched attitudes, particularly racism.
Customer Reviews
Huckleberry Finn review
Was good up till ch 19, it is missing chapter 20. It is also mixed up after that, chapter 7 gets repeated and the numbering is off, otherwise it is fun to hear this story told instead of just reading the book.
Enjoyed the audiobook but couldn’t finish
Enjoyed the story up until chapter 34 where it repeated the recording for chapter 7. Additionally, everything stopped at chapter 38 and I could not get it to continue the rest of the story. This is disappointing. Maybe it is a technical glitch that can easily be fixed? I hope it can be fixed because I would like to hear the remainder of the story. The narrator did a very good job in telling/reading the story.
Pretty good.
The book is great and the reader is great, but for some reason (and perhaps this is a technical glitch) chapter 43 was a replay of an earlier chapter. Also, occasionally you can hear stuff in the background of the recording studio, but I didn’t mind that too much.
