what do you love about the adventures of huckleberry finn?

By FallenBear

Just finished *Huckleberry Finn* and I really liked Huck as a character, and I even found Jim and Tom kind of sweet, but overall the book didn’t hit me the way I thought it would. I was expecting something closer to *Great Expectations*—Huck reminded me a lot of Pip—and I thought it might have more of a punchy, Steinbeck-type storyline. Instead it felt a bit underwhelming. For people who love it, what is it about the book that makes it so special?
