Elijah Wood gives a brilliant performance here, handling with ease all the numerous characters and accents, and conveying wonderfully both the humor and depth of the story.

Elijah Wood truly gets it! I've read the book before, I wasn't sure if I wanted to listen to it, and the only reason for me to check it out was the famous actor and his voice.

Maybe I wasn't expecting too much, or maybe I just forgot how great Mark Twain is as a writer, but at first I was only enjoying the fact that Elijah Wood is actually doing something other than Hobbits :) However, a couple of chapters in I was already hooked to his elaborate play with accents, which naturally became characters, and began to build up the story.

I listened to some parts of the book a few times, just to experience a scene one more time, it is that much captivating! Highly recommend, especially because this is not 'trimmed' language version, all the cultural jokes, references, and sayings are intact and are hilarious!

Highly recommended! This is a fabulous performance of Mark Twain's great classic novel. It will transport you completely.

Wood's accents and performance made this book come alive more than I could have imagined. I've read this book many times before and loved it, but his performance was just fantastic! He spoke as the characters so well that I never had trouble knowing who was speaking and sometimes even forgot it was HIM doing the reading!

Dune, as read by a cast (mostly!) is how I'm going to answer. In that audiobook, many actors play the parts for some parts of the story, but not all. That made it sometimes difficult and the main narrator did not always distinguish the characters on his own.

However, Wood in Huck Finn did a FANTASTIC job of making each character come to life and seem like each character had its own voice actor. This book has shown me what all Audible books should be like. I am definitely going to get more of the Signature books if they are all as good as this!

Jim, most definitely, Jim. I always liked him, but Wood brought him to life in a way I didn't think possible.

I am SO GLAD I got this book, just fantastic. I only wish I had listened sooner. I'm recommending this to my friends to listen to as it's just a great listen. Thank you Audible and thank you to Elijah Wood for this performance.

I listened to this during "Banned Books Week" as tribute to Mark Twain whose writings, and this book in particular, were often banned. This is one of the great american novels and I could never do it justice by attempting to review it, except to say that Elijah's Wood's narration (acting might be more appropriate) is incredibly good. Mr. Wood truly brings something original to the story. This is my 4th "reading" of the "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" and Elijah Wood's narration made it fresh and renewed.

Loved this version of Huck Finn. Mr. Wood's performance was stellar and I loved the story.

Just finished Huck Finn for my Southern Literature book club. Elijah Wood pulled off the accents to my (albeit Yankee) satisfaction. Made wading through the reading of southern and period colloquialisms a delight. Enjoy!

Although I liked LOTR, I'm not much of a fan of Elijah Wood, but he does an outstanding job narrating this book. As for the book itself, it's old and dated, it covers topics that are ancient history, it has some racist overtones, but it still captivates. I go through a lot of books on Audible, averaging 11 per month over the 4 months that I have been a member, but this one stands out as one of the best. It's well worth a credit.

Love it -- I was laughing out loud quite often while reading this book, which I never expected. First time I've read it and I'm over 60 -- I loved hearing words used 100 years ago that are still used today, and sometimes altered -- words that you would not think originated that long ago. I bookmarked a number of phrases that were interesting to me. It truly is a classic and listening to it in audible made it come alive!

Loved it. Elijah does an excellent job.Not being much of a reader as a child I was so pleased to come across it on audio. I thoroughly enjoyed the tale and the telling of the tale.
