Summary: American Adventure
Review: The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn will always be a classic piece of American literature because it embodies an adventure of immense scale. A young teenage boy and an escaped slave travel down the Mississippi River with nothing but a raft and an obscure plan.This novel takes the reader through the pre-Civil War South and exposes the injustices of slavery as well as the South's tainted system of honor. Huck meets a upscale Southern family, the Shepherdsons, who have been embattled in a feud for decades. Many are killed, young and old, on both sides and few can even remember exactly how the feud got started to begin with. Huck's friend Buck, who is about the same age as Huck, ultimately loses his life for this feud being ingloriously shot in the back. That is but one of the significant themes communicated by this novel. This book is a must read for anyone who loves an old-fashioned American adventure with a good mix of social issues.

Summary: Huck Finn
Review: The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, by Mark Twain, reflects the development and maturity of a young man during early America. This novel includes many morals which the main character, Huck, comes across. He is an adventurous boy who has to make many adult decisions and had many pressures. Huck is being forced to be civilized by the Widow Douglas while his best friend Tom Sawyer encourages him to rebel and have a good time. All the while, Huck's drunk, abusive father stumbles back into the picture trying to use his son. The novel can be related to many different issues seen in society today such as individualism and racial problems. Narrated through Huck's eyes and literally in his own words, the book is written in a way to be enjoyed by a variety of readers. It was interesting to see a young boy escape on his own and befriend a runaway slave, defying the social norms. His attitude and freewill make him a very relatable character. This book would come highly recommended.

Summary: An Adventurous Tale
Review: The Adventures of Hucleberry Finn, by Mark Twain, is a wonderful story about the adventures a young boy could have in the 1850's. The story takes place in the states along the Mississippi River during America's early years. Huckleberry, also known as Huck, is a young boy who grew up with an abusive and drunk father. When Huck's father disappears, he is taken in by a widow who tries to civilize and instill manners in him. The book starts out with adventure when Huck and his good friend Tom Sawyer form a gang. Huck is later kidnapped by his father, but he devises an extremely clever escape. He teams up with a runaway slave named Jim and they travel up the Mississippi River in hopes of getting to the northern free states. Huck always seemed to be torn between right and wrong. One minute he feels remorse for helping a runaway slave but the next he feels bad for him. This is evident when Jim is captured later in the book; Huck is set on finding and freeing Jim. Even though The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is a very controversial book it should be read by people of all ages. Not only does it allow young people to relate to it, making their reading easier, but it also, in a non-direct way, explains the way life was in the earky years of America.

Summary: It is an adventure.
Review: The book Huckleberry Finn is a very entertaining book for everyone. It is about a boy who travels down river escaping the trials and tribulations of growing up. Although while down river he makes dozens of moral decisions and gains a friend. Huck is a boy who is fascinated with the life of murdering, and stealing. By lying, and stealing, he rescues a new friend of his. He pretends to be Tom Sawyer and helps Jim escape from slavery because Tom Sawyers Aunt owns Jim. Huck grows up in the south near Missouri in the mid 1800's and he has to face many things such as racism and the controversial issue of slavery. In the end Huck realizes that the most important things in life are caring for friends and knowing that family doesn't always have to be your mother and father. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes a book that is filled with sudden excitement.

Summary: Huck Finn, The All American Novel
Review: The classic novel, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, portrays the character of Huck as the average American. He wants to have adventure, live his life to the fullest, and can't seem to stay in one place for too long. The strong ties of family that are shown in the people Huck encounters on his journey and are reflective of the American way of life as well. Along the way in his adventures he comes into contact with a runaway slave, Jim. Huck goes through moral struggles in this book, but decides that Jim is his good friend and that he can't turn him in. The power of friendship and the desire to be on his own propel Huck through his adventures along the Mississippi and he proves to himself that he just can't seem to be "sivilized." This novel brings out the adventurer in all of us and proves that Americans just can't be held down without seeing what's out there in the great wild frontiers of our lives.

Summary: Review of "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn"
Review: The novel "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" exposes the reader to many interesting and funny occurrences during the pre-Civil War time. The story is about the dangerous and hazardous adventures that both main characters, Huckleberry Finn and Jim, undertake in order to escape from the problems in their lives.
"All the best stories in the world but one story in reality- the story of escape. It is the only thing which interests us all and at all times, how to escape.", said the author Walter Bagehot.
The adventures of Huck and Jim represent escaping from the problems they have. Jim escapes for freedom and Huck for independence. A young teenage boy and an escaped slave travel down the Mississippi River with nothing but a raft and an obscure plan about how to change their lives. I do think that every one who dares to begin reading the book will like it. It will be very difficult for him not to admit that the book is really good.
I recommend "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" to someone looking for an exiting read that is hard to put down. It is a book that keeps you late in the evening and reading page after page.

Summary: Huck Finn's Journey
Review: The novel The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain is about an uncivilized boy's adventures along the Mississippi River between the years of 1835 and 1845. Huck Finn, the narrator and main character of the book, constantly rejects society and all attempts by other people to take care of him. He wants nothing more than to leave society behind and live by his own rules. Mark Twain portrays the young boy's adventures exceptionally well and the reader will feel connected to the characters. While the novel may not be a page turner from start to finish, conflicts in Huck's path call to question moral beliefs in today's world. With each new paragraph comes a greater desire for the reader to search for their own adventure. The book can be read straight through solely for entertainment or it can be picked apart and assessed time and again by anyone searching for deeper meaning in the words. I would recommend this novel to any person in search of a vicarious journey. The classic depiction of the "hero's journey" is what kept my interest. Mark Twain's work should be purchased by people interested in the time period, realistic, epic journeys, or English students looking for writing to delve deeper into.

Summary: A classic you have to read!
Review: This classic story of Huckleberry Finn, the sequel to the book Tom Sawyer, is just as good as the first; or even better. Huckleberry Finn had his riches that him and Tom had uncovered and was living the good life with the widow that had decided to take him in. When his drunk father came back and took Huck with him, sure he was free, but it wasn't what he wanted. He packed up his things and was out for an adventure he'd never forget. After he faked his own death, his path crossed with a black slave he knew, Jim. Huckleberry and Jim get into things neither of them dreamed of including realizing that some of the greatest things in life are found in the most unexpected places, which includes best and dearest friends who will never leave your side.

Summary: Timeless Classic
Review: This Great American Novel combines escapist adventure, humor, and biting social commentary. Author Mark Twain (1835-1910) places us squarely on the raft with Huck and Jim as they float down the Mississippi River seeking separate escapes from an abusive father (Huck) and slavery (Jim). The two form a remarkable friendship despite differences in age, race, and upbringing. That bond helps them to survive unforeseen perils and unwanted companions. Huck also secretly wrestles with his Southern-bred conscience about the morality of helping a slave escape. The book's only weakness comes in the last chapters, when the common-sense Huck reluctantly agrees to a foolhardy scheme to free Jim.
Censors have tried to ban this novel since it first appeared in 1885. Some disdain Huck's skepticism towards religious and middle class values; others dislike the raw use of a racial slur - ignoring the author's indictment of racism. Please. Translated into 65 languages, HUCKLEBERRY FINN invigorates with escapism, adventure, humor and humanity.

Summary: Huck Finn
Review: This was a good book it had its dull parts like when Jim and Huck were going down the river. But overall it was a good book and I would recommend this to anyone who likes to read about a kid who has weird and abnormal adventures. I personally think Mark Twain did a better job on this than he did on Tom Sawyer. It got very ineresting in the middle of the book. I just have to say it had very poor grammer. I know it is supposed to be that way, but it took awhile to get through it because I had to sort it out.
