The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn

            The title of the book I read was The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. The genre of the novel is adventure. The Novel takes place in the South in the 1800's during slavery. The majority of the novel takes place along the Mississippi River. The main characters are Huckleberry Finn and his slave friend Jim.
             The Novel picks up from The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn. Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer had became rich. They got six thousand dollars apiece all gold. Huckleberry Finn was adopted by the Widow Douglas and promised to civilize him. The Judge Thatcher took it and out it out at interest and fetched us a dollar a day apiece all year round. Huckleberry Finn's father heard about this and he came to town. His father is an alcoholic and came to get Huckleberry Finn's money. His father wanted as much as three dollars a day. Huckleberry Finn had to beg the judge to get the money. His father was a lunatic and Huckleberry Finn wanted to escape from this so he faked his death and sailed along the Mississippi River. He Later found his old friend the runaway slave Jim. .
             I would not recommend this book to everyone because not everyone would really like it. The book has a multitude amount of the use of "the n word" and that is because of the setting but if some people read it today they would dislike it. The unabridged version is harder to read because of the southern language. But in my opinion I found this book very interesting. .
