Very good book. Well narrated! Thanks to Audible for having this in store! I would recommend this to my friends and family.

Elija Wood made Mark Twain's humor and dialect come alive in the multiple characters. He made it real and personal.

This was my first Mark Twain book and I completely enjoyed it. Mr. Wood's young-sounding voice was completely believable and I had no problem imagining I was listening to Huck tell about his adventures. My experience with this book far surpasses those I have had with any other audio book. Thank you Audible!

This is truly one of the masterpieces of American literature and the narrator, Elijah Wood, gives an excellent reading of the work. His voice changes to match characters and the story flows along so well. I hated when it ended.

One of the best listens I have had from Audible.

This book has been one of my favorite books for a long time. The story is a lot of fun and provides a looking glass into the time it was written. It's a great adventure with a wonderful cast of characters. It deals with many themes and problems of the time. Mark Twain never disappoints as an author.

Elijah Wood really surprised me with this one. I always considered him a good actor but the way he pulls off the diverse characters have changed my mind. Elijah Wood is a GREAT actor. You would think that with the amount of characters and different accents involved, that anyone would struggle, if at least a little. Wood makes each character unique and pulls off the language of the time perfectly. You're never left trying to figure out which of the many characters is speaking. Elijah gives them each a different voice and gets their accents and personalities perfectly. I would buy any book read by Elijah Wood now.

Huck Finn, finding himself stuck between the prospect of staying locked up with his drunken, abusive father or being taken under the wing of the Widow Douglas and her sister Miss Watson who want to "sivilize" [sic] him, decides to fake his own murder so he can roam free instead. He takes off on a raft and soon runs into Jim, Miss Watson's recently escaped slave, and together they go on a long adventure down the Mississippi river. I liked the beginning of the story where Finn describes his wretched father's ill treatment of him and his subsequent clever escape, but then wasn't much taken with the rest of the first half of the book about their times on the raft. But I'm glad I didn't follow my first impulse to give up, because the action that follows picks up considerably, when the two are joined by the "Duke" and "King".

"It didn't take me long to make up my mind that these liars warn't no kings nor dukes at all, but just low-down humbugs and frauds. But I never said nothing, never let on; kept it to myself; it's the best way; then you don't have no quarrels, and don't get into no trouble. If they wanted us to call them kings and dukes, I hadn't no objections, 'long as it would keep peace in the family."

This section of the book was filled with one hilarious mad caper after another; the last section, where Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer devise plans to free Jim, who has meanwhile been taken prisoner by *well-meaning* folk who intend to return him to his 'rightful owners', is just delightful. I laughed out loud at Tom Sawyer's insistence on coming up with the most complicated schemes so that Jim's escape would be like what he's read about in adventure novels.

The repeated use of the "N" word and references to slavery at first disturbed me, but the historical context of the story and Twain's obvious abolitionist stance made them tolerable in the circumstances. Elija Wood's narration brought the colorful dialects to life and was generally wonderful—definitely recommended

At first, I was thinking Elijah didn't create very distinct voices for each character, and it bothered me a little. He did speak differently for each character, but it wasn't a full-on change of voice as you might hear in other books.

Then as I listened, I realized Huck was speaking for all the characters -- telling what happened. We weren't supposed to be listening to the characters having conversations -- we were listening to Huck relating his conversations back to us, the readers.

And then it all fell into place.

Mark Twain is a great storyteller, and Elijah Wood really made it come alive. I always thought Huck Finn was a troublemaker, and was truly surprised to find out that Tom Sawyer was the instigator, not Huck.

The recording includes all the language as originally written by Mark Twain, and I truly think that is the right thing to do. It's how the people talked and thought back when the story was written, and you can't change that. All we can do is learn from the past and change how we act today.

I got so invested in how life would turn out for Huck and Jim. Elijah and Twain really made me care about them both.

I highly recommend this story to anyone looking for a "page turner".

Elijah Wood sets the bar - his performance opens a whole new level of expectation of audio books for me. Twain's masterful story telling and Elijah's talent combine for a memorable experience.

Loved the reader, easy to follow. I tend to zone out with some narrators, did not happen on this one. A pleasure to listen, as audiobooks should be.

Elijah Woods did a great job with the reading. This is the second classic I have done in the last 6 months and Elijah made it very enjoyable. I would recommend it to everyone.
