This book was fantastic! The story moved so quickly. Even having never read Huck Finn, I felt like I could appreciate how the author presented the story based on that novel.

Absolutely phenomenal. My only complaint is that I wanted more but also, no I didn't. This is perfect. No notes.

Absolutely excellent. I didn’t want it to end.
It’s been 15 years since I’ve read Huck Finn, but it’s not necessary to know it before reading this. This was a tale of its own. There is no rest from the action and no break in the outstanding writing.
