That's why I re-read so many books, they change as the years go by.
We read Tom Sawyer in English class at school and as I enjoyed it I asked for Huck Finn for Christmas. I was really disappointed. I found it rather tiresome. I re-discovered my copy when I was sorting out stuff of my mother's. Didn't know she'd kept it. Had another go at it and didn't enjoy it anymore than when I was 12.Just finishing a James Patterson book, Mistress.
Next in line The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, and A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court.
I was inspired by a PBS series on Samuel Clements.

It's gone in the charity shop bag.
Huck Finn is a bit drier/serious, it has more social commentary than Tom does. Tow Sawyer is a kids story, Huck Finn is for the adults.
I'd think it is more like The Wizard of Oz
I just finished Diana Gabaldon's eighth book in the Outlander Serires, Written in My Own Heart's Blood, great author.
Her books grab you and hold you, well, they do me anyways...
Now I see that the book is a series on the Starz network
WOW!
Only wish we got that channel
Sadder yet, now I'll have to wait another 4-5 years for the next "Big Book"
So you didnt read Huck Finn?
