The first longer book I actually read around age of 13? It kinda started my fascination with books even tho I never really read after that (other than rereading Lottie and Lisa). I don't remember much of it, but what I do remember is the childish view of a darker world writren in a lighthearted way. It was cute, funny, and sometimes serious, and it has a special place in my heart.

Set in the antebellum south, Huckleberry Finn is a very realistic critique of the minds of people growing up in racist societies. Mark Twain expertly portrays the reality of living in this sort of experience. Although, we most likely will never know if his critique was done on purpose or if he just portrayed Huck's world so vividly he did it by accident, it does an incredible job at helping us understand the life of children who are unfortunately a product of their environment.

Good riddance. A Few funny lines, reflective moments, and good discussions were not worth the rest of the book being nonsensical, boring, and Ridiculously Racist.
