Publisher's Summary
Earphones Award Winner (AudioFile Magazine)
Ernest Hemingway said, “All modern American literature comes from one book by Mark Twain called Huckleberry Finn". One hundred years after its author’s death, this classic remains remarkably modern and poignantly relevant. In this new edition, Elijah Wood reads Huck in a youthful voice that may be the closest interpretation to Twain’s original intent. His performance captures the excitement and confusion of adolescence and adventure. Best of all, the immediacy of Wood’s energetic reading sweeps listeners up and makes them feel as though they’re along for the ride, as Huck and Jim push their raft toward freedom.

Critic Reviews
"Elijah Wood’s performance is my nominee for the Narrators’ Hall of Fame. Wood’s unself-conscious reading doesn’t sound like a reading at all. He creates an entire world filled with people who cross class and color lines. His accents range from British to faux-British to all manner of regional affectations, twangs, and drawls. Wood’s delivery makes Mark Twain’s delicious wit and twisty language sound completely natural, especially as Huck invents plausible words to suit the moment. The journey down the Mississippi with Huck and Jim is pure pleasure, as the boy who won’t be "sivilized" and the runaway slave encounter scoundrels, slip out of scrapes, and invent outrageous tales. The listening couldn’t be better if Huck read the story himself." (AudioFile Magazine)

Two Legends in a Legendary Story!
My God, Tom Sawyer is a character I would love to read more about! Huck Fin is the Perfect friend of his and these Two are no lesser than Sherlock Holmes and Doctor John Watson to me, and that's saying something.

A great adventure for the ages!
Wish I'd read it when I was younger. I might've enjoyed it a bit more probably but it was all great fun nevertheless.
I've got to say I like Huck Finn more than his troublemaker comrade Tom Sawyer. But then they do make a great pair; opposites attract and all that.
Poor Jim had a rough time of it from beginning to end, sure. But at least everybody got their happy-ever-after ending.
Definitely a fun story and performed/narrated so well too!
