more adventures of Tom and Huck

Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is a great continuation of the story started with Adventures of Tom Sawyer. Through the adventures laid down in this book, we get more depth into the characters of both Tom and Huck. They become more three dimensional and real. In it we also get a sampling of the culture and people who live along Old Man River, the Mississippi. Although parts of the book became tedious, overall the story was well done and engaging. This particular edition is a literary critics version, and provides approximately 120 pages of related commentary and writings to help understand the story as well as the context. I'm glad i went back to this book anew after all these decades!
