THE ADVENTURES OF HUCKLEBERRY FINN This is Twain's masterwork written at the height of his power. Twain himself refers to it as "a book of mine where a sound heart & a deformed conscience come into collision & conscience suffers defeat."

The book contains belly-laughing humor intertwined with themes of profound moral significance.

When faced with the crucial decision to turn over Jim to his rightful owner, he studies the consequences, then says to himself, "All right, then, I'll go to hell."

    I reread this book for an English Lit course in College. Its a great story for a youthful mind (or to make you feel like you have one). Definitely something you can read again - and if you haven't read it you just have to. There also is a completely different perspective on the story reading it as an adult than you saw when you were young. The whole slavery and the meaning of running away comes out... basically there is a lot more to this book than a story about a mischievous little boy.
