Crazy. I can't imagine reading a censored version. What's the point? I read the unedited version, along with Tom Sawyer, with my kids at 11 and 12. Sparked a lot of nuanced conversations, felt uneasiness, laughed a lot, were saddened, felt happy. Really takes you on a journey (we loved both) and I feel like to censor it, you won't be on as much of a realistic journey. Life is painful, and full of horrible mistakes. Going through all of it as a reader is a safe way to learn and grow. To watch your kids go from laughing to realizing something turned really shitty on some occasions. sparks an acknowledgement of how complex life really is.

I was wondering why this is reffered to as the best American novel and why John Green like it so much. For me Mr. Green is an authority in this field, but I do not agree with him this time. Excellant rhetorics as ever and good job of the crew. But I think this novel is super overrated.
I think it is a trash
Bad boy kids adventures, racism and religion. I do not understand how inteligent contemporary aduld people shoud be interested in this plot.
The illiterate, slangy, easy style of the author do not sound impresive. Sounds even more trashy.
If I was an editor I would definitely reject to publish this novel.

I would like to point out that language is not the issue, but how we interpret it. And the choices in the words we use and the way we use them have impact, are significant in what we write. It shows how we think about things, how our characters think about things, and how we thought of things at the time. If we think of someone in a certain way, it doesn't make sense to phrase it differently because that changes the meaning.

If I remember correctly if that very much like an allegory for the United States where we were the abuse child that try to become civilized and ran away and then the whole story with the two families killing each other was a allegory for the Civil War and then it kind of wrapped up like everything fixed itself kind of like how it felt like in the gilded age even though it-s extremely wasn-t

Funny, I-ve always preferred the story of Tom Sawyer much better than the story of Huck Finn. To me it just felt more relatable than wild adventures on a raft. Which is probably why you like the latter story better. I just connected better with the first story so have always preferred that one.

Doesn-t he realize that turning in Jim is the -right- thing to do way after they-ve been together- Huck said he-d keep Jim-s secret when they first met and that he meant it. It wasn-t until Jim was almost a free man and was talking about -steeling- his wife and kids away from the slave owners.

That was one of my best favorite books, but after these -All right then, I'll go to hell- stuff I realized I wasn't adult enough back then to realize whole heroism of Hack. And also I think it the best books when you think they are great both in 10 and in x-10 years )

First off, Mr. Green, I think You and Your videos are fantastic and You deserve all the praise You get. BUT, the fact You discarded Alien in regards to Aliens akin to discarding Tom Sawyer in regards to Huck Finn, is very disconcerting and I disagree strongly

I prefer this book to The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, it's more action packed and varied because it is set in a range of different places, not just the one town and its environs. Plus Huck is more likable than Tom Sawyer, who is a brat.
