The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark TwainMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
My Favorite Quote
"If you notice, most folks don't go to church only when they've got to; but a hog is different."
"The pitifulest thing out is a mob... they don't fight with courage that's born in them, but with courage that's borrowed from their mass."
This book was a good look into the perspective of slave owners, and the mentality and justification that enables someone to reach such a place in life. Twain uses a child's perspective to make the conclusions that adults are too morally desensitized to make.
It bears a resemblance to "To Kill a Mockingbird," although I would say that book does a better job of getting to the meat.
