The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn was a fun book. It's not without its flaws, of course. It was written by Mark Twain in the 19th century and while it was progressive for the time, it is still racist looking back. Its explorations of death, childhood, and relationships were beautiful and it's easy to relate to Huck Finn in an odd way.
