Reviews

[Sarah · Rating 3 out of 5]

I'm glad I forced myself to get through this book, but it took a really long time. Lots of the N-word happening, which is difficult to explain to outsiders. In the future I'll stick to single story Mark Twain books.

Simply, this is a work of art. Great stories. Glad I have this Masterpiece in my collection.

Marking as read only for Huck Finn at this stage
