Growing up, I thought this book was supposed to be super challenging for it's time, but after reading it, it seems like that was some kind of a fib. I was truly shocked by how bad the ending is. Jim is nothing more than a sidekick who is written out of the book for huge chunks of it, and the last 12 chapters aren't just tedious, they're cruel but it's clear that Twain thought what was going on was really funny. At the end, I'm left feeling like the book didn't have a spine, structurally or morally, and while I'm not sorry I read it, I'm sorry for how disappointing it was.

I have a lot of complicated and contrary thoughts on this that cannot be described in a short review.

this is one of my summer reading books but however i am a reading whore so i will rate this honestly. i HATED it. not even because i have to read it for school but because of how spineless a lot of this book was. why is it considered a classic? god i don’t even know.
anyways what was the point of the king and duke? they had absolutely no purpose in the book. also finding out in the very last chapter that huckleberry’s dad died in like CHAPTER NINE what was that? there were some memorable themes that i can accept and learn from in this book like how people are always going to be horrible to eachother. we can see this theme in how humans treated slaves as less than; how humans were looked at in a different spectrum when it came to family or wealth. that i can accept and can condemn it to one star. 
would i read this book willingly??? no absolutely not. 
would i recommend this to others to read willingly? only to my enemies but to think about it again i don’t want to be known for suggesting this book i rather be caught dead. /
