Of course, I did not enjoy the language, the slurs. It was written a long time ago so it was no surprise.
For most of the book, I really did not like Huckleberry Finn. It was not until close to the ending, I started to enjoy him. I hate Tom Sawyer, though. He is just awful and annoying.
I was never bored. Something was happening the whole time. There was not a single moment without some sort of event.
I don't really know how to review this. It was fine, I enjoyed parts of it, but it is definitely not one of my favorite books.

the main character is obviously very attaching and he grew on me really quickly. the story in itself was quite funny too, i did laugh a few times which surprised me ngl.
i think huckleberry finn is one of those books that you’ll hate if someone force you to read and study it but can 100% enjoy if you pick it up on your own

cruelly pulling everyone's legI did however enjoy the writing despite my usual dislike of child narrators and Jim and Huck's relationship was quite sweet and lovely.
