The great American novel comes to life in a thrilling new adaptation.

And perhaps his greatest adventure: unexpectedly finding his own moral compass in a world of corruption and hypocrisy.

[Christine · Rating 4 out of 5]

A sweet, brisk family-oriented adaptation, the success of which would hinge entirely on the casting of Huck since he serves as both lead character and narrator. If I saw this as a kid I would probably want to read the book after to get the real depth from it. Even as an adult it made me want to revisit the original novel which I haven't read in years.

Mark Twain's novel, "The Adventure's of Huckleberry Finn", that takes place in st. Petersburg, Missouri summarizes how Huck, a boy with a drunken father, faces many adventures and becomes adopted by widow Douglas. Widow Douglas lives with her sister Miss Watson and they teach Huck to have many manners and to be respectful. Huck meets Miss Watson's slave, Jim, which soon becomes one of Huck's close friends. Huck and Jim team up, despite the fact that Huck is uncertain of the morality of helping a runaway slave. The two boy's go on an amazing adventure and come to find themselves in trouble at the end. I believe that this book was an "okay" novel because it jumped into settings and different scenes way too often and I didn't like the plot of the story. I also don't Huck's character development and the way he grew throughout the novel.

As shown, I had to read this book for school. It is a classic book and was good but it moved along slowly in my opinion. The adventures that Huck went on came slowly and reiterated the same events such as riding on the raft, more plays with the King and the Duke, etc.
