Abstaining from adding a star rating. Huck Finn is an old book and while this is a watered down, condensed, all-bad-words-removed, kids version of the original, some elements remained-murder, racism, and slavery. I mainly read it for context for another read. I will say I like Huck a lot more than Tom. Tom's still a shitty selfish person in this book, no regard for other people's lives. He deserved the bullet in his leg. Too bad he didn't learn his lesson.
