A
Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, written by Mark Twain, is one of the Great American Novels. The latest version of PB House attracts many reviews and comments. Here is a collection:
Enjoying this wonderful novel extremely. I am so relieved that no dialogue or words were changed. Much credit to the editors and publishers of this book for keeping Twain's true meaning alive. It's a joy to visualize and read such great depth in character.

This is a rip off. If you check an authorized version, you will find that this version has been revised by someone who does not speak English as a first language. It has been changed and in the worst possible way. Whole sentences have been left out making the paragraph impossible to understand. If you buy this version of the book, you are wasting your money.

This Kindle edition has the best reproductions of the original illustrations I was able to find. The illustrations are smaller than I'd like, but when viewed full-screen they look good. I'm also pleased that, like the original book, the chapters in the table of contents each have a short description. The only disappointment is that instead of quotation marks, it has inch marks. Aside from that, the text formatting is good.

Wanted to read it because it's a classic and everybody should read it at some point but I have to say I'm a bit disappointed. I found myself skipping whole pages because they are wasting space describing things unimportant to the story(color of trees, waves on the river, size of fish etc.)
