It was an interesting concept that was cute, fluffy and an enjoyable book. There was some inconsistencies, but overall a good book if you're looking for a quick and fun read.
All in all this was a satisfying conclusion. There was some plot holes and kind of out there but you could argue that with any of the books really. It gave me an ending where I felt I didn't need to know more and felt content when putting it down. I give this book a 3.5 stars. I enjoyed it but it won't be a story that I'll still think about every now and then.
3.5 stars. I'm pretty divided about this book. Some parts I really loved others I hated.
I disliked how some parts felt dragged out (ex. The king and duke) and the last couple chapters with Tom were painful to get through (the little sh*t). I just had to stop reading it a couple times because of it. While there are other negatives there's also a lot of positives.
I enjoyed the classic adventures and not knowing what will happen to Huck and Jim whenever they'd meet people on land. And as interesting the adventures are, this book gives Huck the choice of what being “civilized” means. His dad: being a drunk, violent and rascist or the widows way: wear uncomfortable clothes, educated and also rascist. The book is trying to convey to the reader that for all their claims to being civilized, they are the ones lacking in morals and education. And Huck thinking he'd be damned for making the choice choses his own path and saying one of my favourite lines ever.
...It was a close place. I took it up, and held it in my hand. I was a trembling, because I'd got to decide, forever, betwixt two things, and I knowed it. I studied a minute, sort of holding my breath, and then says to myself: ‘All right, then, I'll go to Hell'–and tore it up.
This book had some shining moments, but, that end though.
For now it's 3.5 stars but I might change it in the future, I don't know. This book will be on my mind for a while.
