Well, it is an American classic and even if you do read it you'll find it's a really good book. From the first page, where Huck introduces himself, the author, and other various characters in the book smoothly, you are enraptured...or rather, I was. ^^ All I gotta say is you should read it because not only is reading good for you but this book is sort of like...a journal of a runaway, and you see it through his eyes, you see it from his point of view, and there are TONS of moral lessons and whatnot. ^^ You'll gain much by reading this book and lose nothing but time...
