À propos de cet audio

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.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"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)

Wood did an amazing job in narrating this book from ‘back in my day’.

I remember this story well from elementary school, and it was about time for me to review.

Elijah was Spectacular! He made the book come alive with so many voices and characters. It was truly a performance rather than a reading.

A classic novel, 4 stars, the language is hard to hear. performance was very good, I can't imagine trying to read the printed copy, with all the different dialects of the English language and accents.

A classic story, written by a lengend

I listened to this every night before bed with my 10 year old boy. There needs to be a warning about language, I had no idea the N word was in it! That led to a lesson about why the word is so bad and why we don't say it. I decided to let him continue listening to the story even though the word was so prevalent, and I think he has a more mature understanding of racism now, having heard this historical perspective. It's important that we don't forget how people used to be treated back then. I think age 10 may have been a little early for that lesson though, and I would have preferred to see a clear content warning so I could be prepared before listening.
That said, Elijah Wood did an amazing job of narrating all the characters. He really brought the story to life. And the story itself was super entertaining. We could never predict what Huck was going to think of or run into next. A great adventure.
