The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is a fun adventure novel filled with Mark Twain's special brand of sarcastic humor. When you open the book, the first thing you see is the following notice, "PERSONS attempting to find a motive in this narrative will be prosecuted; persons attempting to find a moral in it will be banished; persons attempting to find a plot in it will be shot." (of course this is then followed by one of the most plot-driven, moral and social commentary ridden stories of all time). Mark Twain centers the story around Huck Finn, a mischievous, naive, but basically good boy who continuously stumbles from one mess into another throughout the story. Amazingly, Twain is able to use him to push the story and to deliver some of the deepest insights about human nature. What I really like about the book is that Mark Twain is able to deliver a entertaining story while also expressing his interesting ideas on.
