This review is just for the narration of the story. I liked it! It was good and went at a great pace. The reader had firm conviction and I felt like part of the story from time to time. It was difficult to get around some of her accents and the voices she would use didn't sound quite right all the time, but it was still highly enjoyable.

I'd read The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn as a child but when I saw a new audiobook was about to be released, I thought I'd do a re-read and see what I thought as an adult. In short, much of the political elements embedded in the story went right over my head the first time around. Mostly, I remembered the humor. The humor remains but as an adult, the story doesn't seem quite as light-hearted.

While Huckleberry Finn is very much a satire, and Mark Twain could really write satire, it is also still very much a book of its time. It's plot is enmeshed in the values and ideas of the South of the US in the mid 1800s. That can be a bit jarring for a reader after a spring and summer of activism for the rights of Black people. Especially when the POV is from a white boy and the lens through which we see everything is that of a White male author, no matter how wonderful a writer and how advanced for the times said author was.

There's not much to be said about the story itself that hundreds of other reviews haven't said, so I'll spare us all the high-school English style review.

This new audiobook is narrated by Robin Miles, who has a warm voice, and gives characters the accents and nuances they need to be recognizable upon hearing them.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for providing me with an ARC of this edition, in audiobook format, in exchange for an honest review.

My first introduction to Huckleberry Fin was made by my parents, reading to me at bedtime. Train delivers memorable characters with an ear for dialogue. He presents themes of friendship, self discovery, human dignity and slavery.

This classic American novel is brought to life by Robin Miles narration. She switched voices and dialect in a subtle charming way that was enjoyable to listen to and enhanced to the story.

Huck Finn is a classic and I haven't read it in school. I will say -- hearing a Black woman narrate it sent chills down my back and in a good way. There is a lot of racism in this book and I appreciated the narration a lot.

This classic was a great listen! I hadn't read this book in a long time and felt that the narrator did a great job of making this an enjoyable listening experience.
