- Latest Review: "Vietnam Memoirs: Part 1" by Don Bonsper
I am adding it to my to read again list. That is two books I have added today. Drat. Why is there not enough time in the day to do all the reading I want to do?
So many books, so little time.
That's right, I have a muse. It is spelled MusE. My writing is influenced by the interactions of people I meet - us and ME.

I have to say that I liked Tom Sawyer better, but I can understand why you like Huck. He's just so likeable! I think that I want to read this book again as well, but I am getting a little busy with school and all...KEW wrote:It has been far too long since I read this book. I need to revisit it with the mindset of an adult, and perhaps reconnect with my younger self. I liked Huck so much more than Tom.

Huckleberry Finn is a strange character because he is a child and an adult at the same time, like Calvin in the comic strip Calvin and Hobbes. When the story requires it, he's clueless. When the story requires it, the author gives him the insight of an adult with a mature perspective.
I didn't like Huckleberry Finn the character because for me he's not relatable. He doesn't like book learning! We are made of different stuff.
I didn't like Huckleberry Finn the book because the ending gets hijacked by Tom Sawyer, who engages in all sorts of unnecessary nonsense before the loose plot ends are tied up. That's the part that I remembered reading in high school, twenty years later. Bleh.
