3.0

Wasn't a big fan of the plot -- lots of space was devoted to various side plots that didn't particularly interest me, particularly that Romeo-and-Juliet-esque blood feud came out of nowhere. The conmen took over like half of the book, and the ending with Tom
cruelly pulling everyone's leg
just felt like pointless buffer.

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