Huckleberry Finn can never be proper enough according to the widow Douglas. Under her care it was hard to be himself, but it was much better then what life used to be with his abusive father. One day Huck's father returns, and kidnapped Huck back into his grasp once again. After tough days of living alongside the drunken man and his abuse, Huck decides to get away from the nasty hold of his father. He joins together with runaway slave Jim, and they head down the Mississippi river, hoping for Jim to reach freedom. Huckleberry reunites with his fellow best friend Tom Sawyer. While trying to reach freedom at last Huckleberry, Tom and Jim find unexpected trouble in every corner, from gunfights to robberies, to bloodhounds, it is quite the risky path to take. Will Huck and Tom ever carry Jim to freedom, or will Jim be faced with more trouble than he is already in?

What I liked about this book:
I really liked how in depth Mark Twain got in the book. I could really picture what was going on, the details were very accurately described. It was very easy to follow along and made me want to read more.

What would I change about this book?
There was a lot of slang in this book and sometimes it was hard to follow along with some of the characters. I also wish that Mark Twain would have described the characters better. I had to picture the Characters in my own way, and i didn't know much about the character's personality. (ex. I thought Huckleberry Finn was black until the end of the book.) So i wish that Mark Twain would have described the characters better.
