A window in time

In terms of the story and main character, this is better than Tom Sawyer.

The story is an odyssey of sorts. A voyage down the Mississippi that gives an excellent snapshot of the history, geography, and issues that prevailed in their world. Images are created through Twains writing that remain long after the book is complete.

Finn, too me, is a junior version of Kit Carson. He is a frontiersman in the making: rugged, resourceful, and independent. He is also a moral character that demonstrates intense loyalty to his companions, and wrestles with ethical dilemmas. He is, I believe, a metaphor for the way Americans viewed their national character.

The ending was the weakest part of the story. It was more Tom Sawyer, less Huck Finn. More silly, less serious. More trivial, less meaningful. Almost a different book. Twain broke the story pretty significantly.

The narration was lovely.
