Huck Finn I liked a lot. I was very glad that the only person that died was Huck's dad. I was very excited to find out that Ms. Watson had freed Jim. However, I was kind of upset that Tom didn't tell them first off.
In our reading circle James brought up the fact that Tom was the dumb one and I thoroughly agree. Huck was fine when it was just him and Jim. Then when Tom comes back around he doesn't even give Huck the benefit of the doubt. It's really irritating for me because when I was on the journey with Huck and Jim, Huck always seemed to know what to do. But when Tom comes back around he just bosses Tom around. James and I came to the conclusion that Huck is the smarter out of the two. Personally I don't think Tom could have made it on Huck and Jim's journey.
Huck Finn is supposed to be THE great American novel. I wonder how people have come to that conclusion... It's interesting... because I don't really know what is required that something become a great American novel... But overall I did think it was a good book.
