Huck Finn takes on the mighty Mississippi.
When Huckleberry Finn runs away from a life of abuse, he meets up with an old friend, the slave Jim, who is also running away. Together, they travel by raft down the Mississippi River, tumbling in and out of amazing adventures - from a floating house to a funeral, to a shipwreck, to a circus! (back cover)
Review of 'The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
I wanted to re-read (listen) to this book as an adult because I read it as a teen and had no recollection whatsoever of the n-bomb. I really dislike that word, and wanted to see if all the recent fuss had any basis. Conclusion: leave it alone, people. To remove that word from this book would change the entire foundation of the story. To remove it would be MISSING THE POINT.
