A funny, light-hearted, adventurous, thoughtful tale that I really enjoyed.

I tried my best, but I can't finish this. I've tried twice now. I think the book has merit, I just personally don't enjoy the time period the plot takes place in among other things. I also deeply regret trying to listen to an audio book second time around.

Maybe this book isn't for me. It wasn't bad, I just didn't understand what was going on half of the time. Maybe I'll read it again someday and I'll understand it better.

Though the first half is excellent, the second half seems confused, too much madness in a kind of fabricated way. Huck seems inconsistent, not always on the same level of intellect, drive, or sensibility, which makes it hard to stay interested through the weirder adventures down river. Jim, meanwhile, fades. He gets less playtime and, when playing, shows less character, a dud. Nevertheless, the relationship arc between Huck and Jim is an amazing, believable journey, and a national treasure. Though reading the ending, you'd think Twain got lost to that fact.
