Huck Finn - what is going on

[Mister Cheese]

I don't really know myself if this deserves a thread but it can't really go anywhere else so
I have to read Huckleberry Finn for my summer reading because I'm in AP English 11 this year. I have procrastinated a tad on this, but I'm a third through the book, and thank The Lord I was able to get past Jim
Holy crap dude
I swear I had to listen to an audiobook just to understand what he was saying
Heck or what was even happening in the book at times
I feel if a dialect is so thick your reader can't understand what's happening, it's gone too far. Then again, book written in late 1800's.
That's all I really got
Go ahead and post what you think of Huck Finn or somethin idk

I read the title as "forget Hinn"

anyways yeah I hated that book, summer reading is so dumb

[Couatl]

I love mark twain so I love the book

that's really all I can say

It's one of those books you have to read out loud. It is also written in a southern dialect.

good book

the phonetic speech takes some getting used to but after a while it'll be second nature

[Cybertails1998]

i could read it fine, but then again it was translated without any of this phonetic nonsense

good book but i prefer The Count of Monte Cristo
