I love the moment where huck says he’ll go to hell. It’s so ironic since as a reader we know huck isn’t going to hell for opposing slavery and yet he is willing to face that assumed punishment for helping Jim escape slavery. While Huck’s reasoning is off, his conclusion isn’t.

honestly aza is a very good main character. I like how complex she is and how we’re given insight into how her mind works

omg I hateeee the duke and the king these bozos are so annoying and they make up a decent part of the novel 🤥🤥😵

The chapter with buck always makes me cry

here we go again n

Fire so far. I love aza even if she’s a little annoying at times. The book is somehow very topical and yet very much coming of age and silly at times. I love how John Green incorporates important ideas and messages into the book

comfort servosse is fake asf

Ugh I love this so far. John Green is insanely good at capturing the narrator’s OCD and anxiety. It somehow mixes the seriousness of various topical subjects with the warm and welcoming feel of a YA novel. I’m excited to see where this goes

okay why is it getting gooddd im excited to see what Lily Servosse does. I swear if she marries some racist tho.

This section has actually been very interesting. The only thing I’m disliking is these long letter with super tiny font. The story given by Bob Martin is important in highlighting black voices, but at the same time, it makes me wonder why Tourgée only spotlights black voices when there is white supremacist violence

I’m liking comfort a bit more but he’s still very ignorant and just ignores the consequences of his actions. I’m interested as to why there are so many letters imbedded within the text.

lowkey what is happening anymore. Comfort is such a strange character like in one moment he says he’s super pragmatic and is focused on the future of Reconstruction in practical ways but then he’s actively helping black men who were falsely accused like can he just take a solid stance?? also idk why Vaughn suddenly doesn’t like Comfort

Omg comfort is annoying me so bad

wowowow I am loving this so far. The narrator is extremely snarky and absolutely hates our main character, Comfort Servosse. Not for no reason; he’s a man who ignores his wife’s wishes and blindly pursues the romanticism of serving the Union army. It’s refreshing to see Comfort’s disillusionment with Reconstruction’s upcoming difficulties called out by the narrator in stark terms.

Wow the writing is definitely something… whenever I reread a classic I’m always so confused about why it’s so acclaimed. Holden is an interesting narrator, I guess. He’s definitely unreliable since he’s a teenager trying to figure out his life. But the story isn’t all too compelling and the writing isn’t captivating
