Title: Classic Boredom At Its Best
Review: When I first picked up the book to read for my tenth grade English class, I thought to myself, "Hey, it's a Twain book! I'm sure it'll be great!" Boy, was I wrong! Historically speaking, the book was accurate with its use of racial slurs, societal views, etc. Twain's colorful use of dialect was interesting, albeit difficult to sift through at times. Also, Twain's vivid descriptions absorbed me into the book and made my feel as if I were sitting next to Huck and Jim on their raft. However, those factors definitely did not make up for the boredom experienced as I read the book. The characters were bland and unappealing, the plot was absurd and dull, and the hefty symbolism was annoying.Sure, "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" is a literary classic. That doesn't mean that it's great. For the modern readers of today, this is boredom-inducing material.
