The Adventures Of Huckleberry Finn
by Mark Twain
View in Library Catalog
book cover


3.75 stars rounded up. I find this book very hard to rate as much of the merit comes from its status as a classic. Mark Twain’s novel is full of adventure, boyhood mischief and depictions of the racist antebellum Southern US. I’m very familiar with the story and probably have the strongest memory of the Elijah Wood portrayal on film. There’s nostalgia that comes with taking that trip down the river with Huck and Jim and revisiting their stops along the way. Yet, during this reading, I was shocked at the preponderance of vernacular and ear-piercing slurs (specifically the n-word) that made it rather hard to listen to on audio. If this book were written today as historical fiction, I’d probably be rounding down the rating, but I can’t ignore where this text stands in history. Tom Parker’s narration felt rather fast-paced, but his voice felt authentic though his occasional vocal clicks stuck out a bit.

Detective agency at the back of a cafe replicates recipes from clients’ long ago memories. Too bad this isn’t a “scratch ‘n sniff” book because some of the dishes sound amazing!

I honestly shouldn't even reveal that I read this because it's so bad and embarrassing but I have to just in order to tell people NOOOOO DON'T READ IT, IT'S SOOOOO BAD, romance that should be classed as psychological horror

Like the gospels but worse. Supposedly his masterpiece too bad his masterpiece is garbage. One star though because under the dust jacket is a beautiful cover with gold embossing and text is done with a letterpress.
