The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
The book that I read for The Junior Smackdown was none other than the Mark Twain classic "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn".
The tale of this book follows a young Huckleberry Finn, an "improper", friendly, abused young boy as he lives and eventually makes a radical decision. But, at the start you learn Huck and Tom Sawyer find quite a bit of gold and when they return it to the police, they get to split it. One, day his father comes back and takes him home. His father though, was not the nicest man (or father) that he has come to see, and begins to abuse him. That is when my dearest Huck makes the radical decision to run off on the Mississippi river and escape his fathers clutches. Along the way he encounters many new or old friends and helps them out.
In this book there were many parts I liked and quite a few that I felt needed more. Some of the parts I think others might enjoy the book are that they have themes that can apply to anywhere and anytime. some of these themes are the process that Huck starts to treat Jim (the black slave) as an equal throughout the book and that he runs away from his fathers abuse. Also, the rare action occurrence. Some things I did not like so much were all the racial slurs, the lack of intensity and the different accents that made it a bit harder of a read.
