Of course, his dad wants custody, so they fight it out Judge Judy style. Huck goes to live with the Widow Douglas, instead of his ne’er do well drunk dad. Huck Finn and his homeboy Tom Sawyer come into some money.

For the most part, I enjoyed audioing Mark Twain’s novel. So I put The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn on my Fill In The Gaps list, and well when Audible told me it was narrated by Elijah Wood, I had to blow a credit on that. I actually sort of regret not reading those books, as I want to be perceived as well read. I’m not entirely sure why I didn’t read those books, but oh man Sparknotes was my BFF back in the day.įlash forward to now. ANYWAYS, I did always read the book for English, with the notable exception of three books: Wuthering Heights, Hamlet, and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. I do feel bad for this generation and all the pressure they have to do well and not slack. The only AP exams I studied for were the history exams, but I still got a high enough score on all of them to get the college credit. I wrote all my papers the study hall before class and aced them.

I spend a lot of time on twitter and a lot of the people I follow are all worried about AP exams and homework and studying. I was one of those kids who was in AP English, but still slacked off. It’s exactly how it sounds, you review an older book on Friday.

Retro Friday reviews are hosted by Angie of Angieville.
