:- 1.0 out of 5 stars from Jacob -- WTF book publisher : I loved this book in high school so I thought that I would buy it for my kids to read one day when I'm older. Little did I know that buying cheap would be buying weird. I love Huckleberry Finn, but this book is about 12"x9" with huge white gaps in margins and for whatever reason this book has "_" underscores in place of spaces in the weirdest contexts. I feel like I received a manuscript for the publishers to edit out. I'm not sure I'm actually supposed to be holding this. What kind of first draft stuff is this? ( Reviewed in the United States on August 9, 2018 )
- 1.0 out of 5 stars from Jennifer Hall -- Don't order this version! : I got this for my daughter's summer reading assignment. I guess I wasn't paying attention, because the first big hint that this is a terrible copy is that they the cover reads "Huckleberry Fin." The book is an odd size (about 8.5"x11") but the text only goes about 4" wide, leaving lots of blank space. There are also random underscores _ everywhere. There isn't a title page or any publishing information, so this is probably done by someone in their garage, and it shows. ( Reviewed in the United States on August 11, 2018 )
- 1.0 out of 5 stars from E. Giddings -- NOT the original text! Do NOT buy! : Someone went through and edited this version of Huckleberry Finn. I "need" the original book for a school project. Keep the original language of the book! Example, page 36 in THIS book, page 37 in older editions, "Oh, yes, this is a wonderful govment, wonderful. Why, looky here. There was a free n---er there from Ohio." This version omits the language used at the time. This version removes the N-word and has re-written, "free slave." What else have they changed?! I cannot rely on this text! I don't have time to go through and compare older versions. This book is a waste of time. History needs to be unblemished by present-day hands, stop trying to erase things YOU think is offensive! It's equivalent to going into a man's grave to change his appearance because modern times find it offensive for men to wear suits! The arrogance of people today.

- 5.0 out of 5 stars from Jan Schneider -- Today that N-word is only used as a disgusting insult. Hence schools are banning the reading of ... : There is nothing I can say about Huck that has not been said a thousand time already. Mark Twain is, or was, Mark Twain. And the book reflects the era in which it was written. ( Reviewed in the United States on April 7, 2018 )
- 4.0 out of 5 stars from Freemind.Arcata -- Never the Twain... : I wonder if somewhere in the Great By and By Mr Clemons is having himself a little chuckle every time some English teacher assigns his tome to another class of befuddled students. Surely the man who created the least literate, most rebellious, and most happily ignorant character in American Lit would appreciate the irony. He might even crack wise at the serious sermonizers and pretentious pontificators lauding his deeply flawed novel as the prodigious. Of all people, Mark Twain would know a sham when he saw one. Even taken in the context of the day, this novel's glaring inadequacies and blunders are hard to miss. But then, he would also recognize the American-ness of the response, as well, the salesman's spiel, the overblown praise, the pumped up pomposity, the urgent, if insecure, need to apply superlatives. For, like his book, America has all of the same qualities, and in that regard, it is indeed The Greatest Most Perfectest American Novel Ever Written! ( Reviewed in the United States on May 10, 2017 )
- 5.0 out of 5 stars from Kindle Customer -- Mark Twain has been my favorite author Forever ! : I first read about Tom Sawyer, the Huck Finn when I was seven or eight years old, and have reread both several times. That's what makes a book a Classic, is that you can read them time after time, over a lifetime, and they will still set your imagination on fire, and, you will always find some little conceit, some word play, or opinion, that Twain has added to the story line. As with the differing speech patterns, dialects, etc, noted in the preface, Mr Clements writes with a precision, and a smooth flow, that one becomes so involved in the story, ends up reading Jim's, or Aunt Sally's neighbor's accents as if that's your very own lingo.

- 2.0 out of 5 stars from Frank V Malquist -- British narrator. Really??? : This is of the audible version of the book. I love Mark Twain and realize he is no longer politicaly correct. My problem with this version is two fold. 1. The first few seconds were in German. I'm not sure why, but it was short. 2. When the official narration came on, it is a female British reader. Her diction is excellent and she is a fine reader. Unfortunately, that is all the good I can say. She is reading with only the minimum inflection to her voice, and hearing a story of a boy living on the Mississippi river in the mid 1800s in a female British accent just doesn't make it. A female narrator would be fine, but have one that can speak with a country southern accent, not the queen's English. ( Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2021 )
- 5.0 out of 5 stars from Bryn Griffith -- anti-racism as comedy : This is a really entertaining read that gets better and better the further you get into it, and becomes hilarious once Tom Sawyer arrives on the scene towards the end. ( Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 13, 2019 )
- 5.0 out of 5 stars from alan pritchard -- A most enjoyable read : I had never read any of these stories previously but it soon becomes apparent why they are included in the classic novels. Soon got used to the dialect by reading it in context. An excellent and uplifting account of people thrown together in dire circumstances and the human spirit which carried them along. Perhaps not for the current PC generation but a great snapshot of history. ( Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 12, 2017 )
- 5.0 out of 5 stars from O H. -- but this is even better! It amazed me and surprised me about the ... : I totally didn't know what to expect with this book after reading tom sawyer. but this is even better! It amazed me and surprised me about the adventures. A really good insight into what life was like back then, though author says there is no moral, it seems to have a lot of modern outlook to me, pointing out the unjust treatment of slaves, trickery of con men, strange ways of town folk, dangers of small minded villagers, and all the time centring around the innocence of boyhood, young male outlook, the inner teacher a boy can follow, the kindness and judgement he can learn to develop. OK, there is a repeated word, not used today, and offensive to people of African origin beginning with 'N', I daren't quote it here. However, it was used as in the original text and is correct in its historical usage. Be aware if passing this onto a child and decide for yourself how they may take on board or understand about this aspect in the language. but otherwise a great book. came on time.

- 5.0 out of 5 stars from RYAN FIENNES -- Macmillan Collector's Library : I purchased the MacMillan Collector's Library Edition of this book: they are very compact editions - smaller than paperbacks - and come complete with dust jacket and ribbon page marker. ( Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 7, 2021 )
- 5.0 out of 5 stars from Mrs. V. A. Saunders -- Great read but not at all erudite so is an easy read and simple story. : The book is well written, even though it uses some phrases of southern America in that era but I loved the book , first reading it at school over 60 years ago. It takes me back 😉 ( Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 6, 2019 )
