A review of Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
This week I have been reading Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. I think that it is one of the most interesting books I have ever read. The novel was written by the American writer Mark Twain in 1885. It follows the adventures of one of the characters from The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, a twelve-year-old boy called Huckleberry Finn, or Huck Finn. At the start of the book, Huck Finn is staying with his father. However, his father drinks too much and does not treat him well, so Huck Finn runs away. He sails down the river on a raft (木筏) and comes to a small island. On the island, he finds a man called Jim. Jim is a slave (奴隶)，and he has run away because he does not want to be sold again.
Huck decides to take Jim on the raft to a place where he can be free. As they go down the river, two men join them. Both of these men like to trick people in order to get money. One of the men does this by pretending to be a king. They meet many interesting people and have many adventures on their journey.
In the end. the two men who like to trick people are caught and thrown in prison. Then Jim is caught and locked up as a slave. Finally it looks like Huck may have to go back to his father. Yet, all turns out well for Huck and Jim. To see what happens, you will have to read the book. The novel has many interesting ideas. It shows us that people should not be slaves, and that all men are the same even if they look different. I believe that is true.
