"Found the two bodies laying in the edge of the water. I covered up their faces...I cried a little when I covered up Buck's face, for he was mighty good to me." I personally hated the book ... The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. One of the reasons why I hate this book because its confusing just everything, coming all at once. I have to stop and be like "Wait, what's happening here"? Also because of the hill billy like language too. Another reason why I hate it, is because its sad, I don't like that a lot of people die, to me its just slighty annoying about people keep dying, cause you can get also bored with it. The last reason why I hate this book is because its in a different time period, which is not that interesting to me. That it bores me to death. Overall, these are the reasons why I absoultely dislike ... The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. To start off, Huckleberry Finn is confusing because of the way he talk. An example would be "Why, yes dats so; I-I'd done forgot it. A harem's a bo'd'n-house I reckin." LIke that, you can't even make out the words. Another why its confusing is because everything goes from one way to the next. I don't understand what I'm reading half the time, and it annoys me that I'm reading a book that I don't understand clearly. To continue, another reason why I absouletly hate this book is because its pretty sad. I don't like that the fact that main characters keep dying. One after the other, you would probably assume in the next chapter, and the next chapter someone important is just going to end up dying. I don't like this book being that sad. I don't even read depressing, sad, books, so its the first time really ever reading anything like this. Lastly, I also hate this book because of the time period. Wow, the 1850's bores me to tears. I know reading old times is good to read sometimes, by learning about history is good to know, but its not something I would want to read in a heart beat. In conclusion, these are the main reasons why I truly disliked ... The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. I hope I made it clear why I never liked it.

Davis If you hate things set in the past, why read it?


Frank I was going to try to explain some things to you but after reading your atrocious writing I have decided that it is not worth my time. Just thought I'd let you know.


Katie I agree with Frank, how can you talk about Huck Finn being difficult to read when I could barely understand your review.


1luvbooks Agree with all 3 comments above, and also, Huck talks that way because of where he came from, and Mark Twain was just trying to make it realistic to the setting and the period.
