I’m happy I read this American literature classic. I appreciated the version I read as the appendix was really helpful for understanding the time/space this book was written in and why it is so significant. However, I struggled with the slapstick comedic storytelling of Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer. It was fun had interesting for the first 2/3 of the novel, but it got old after a while. Overall, I’m happy I read it but it might be my first and last foray into Mark Twain.
