Not As Good As ‘Tom Sawyer’

Well, I finally read this classic (in full)! Check this off my “To-Read” list! Haha! 😆 I really hadn’t read this story before now (not the “unabridged version”, at least; I read an abridged one when I was a kid (with pictures)), so I’m happy to have finally “picked it up” & I’m glad I did before going on to read/listen to the new novel, “James” by Percival Everett; I had actually started to read/listen to that one 1st for my book club, but then figured I should really read/listen to ‘Huck Finn’ 1st since it’s not very long & since I hadn’t read the “full” version yet. And I’m happy I did! Now I can go back to reading/listening to “James” tomorrow! 😁 I DID like it; Huck Finn was a very funny kid at some point! I especially liked how in the end, Huck says something like, “If I’d known how much trouble writing was gonna be, I’d never would have started in the1st place!” & I was like, “Yep, Huck. Facts. That’s what I imagine most writers think that at times, too; I know I do sometimes!” (I write a little bit of Fan-Fic here and there myself sometimes.) I highlighted that sentence in my Kindle version b/c it’s SO true sometimes! 😅 However, that being said, I still like ‘Tom Sawyer’ better (& yes, I have read/listen to the “full version” of ‘Tom Sawyer’). I just think that ‘Tom Sawyer is a much more “fun” read, if that makes sense & ‘Huck Finn’ is a little more on the serious side side of things, which I can FULLY understand why it makes it more “critically acclaimed”. But that’s just MY opinion (hence, me giving it just 3 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️)! 🥹 However, the AUDIO of the Audible version wasn’t the greatest, sadly (which is why I only gave the “Performance” 1 star ⭐️ 🥺) . . . I could BARELY understand the “voice” of Jim when he was talking (as well as some other adult male characters, too) & if I hadn’t had the Kindle version to “read-along” with, I bet I’d have NOT understood A word of Jim “talking” (& the other male adults, too) . . . It honestly kinda sounded like he (the “reader”) was moving away from the mic at times & not speaking very clearly into it, which for an audiobook released in 2025 (I DID look up the release date before typing up this review), I don’t understand why the audio is NOT better!! 😒 I had the same thing happen with ‘Little Women’ recently . . . The audiobook was HORRIBLE to listen to . . . It’s like Audible doesn’t care enough about the “Classics” to produce GOOD audiobooks of them, which is really a shame!! Audible, PLEASE do better with the “Classics”!! 🙄🙏🏻 But, anyway, that’s my review of ‘Huck Finn’; back to “James” tomorrow! 😁

corny

Voice and accent. Hard to understand and too childish should be more straightforward, like reading to adults .
