Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (often shortened to Huck Finn) is a novel written by Mark Twain and published in 1884. It is commonly regarded as one of the Great American Novels, and is one of the first major American novels written in the vernacular, characterized by local color regionalism. It is told in the first person by Huckleberry "Huck" Finn, best friend of Tom Sawyer and narrator of two other Twain novels. The book is noted for its colorful description of people and places along the Mississippi River. By satirizing a Southern antebellum society that was already anachronistic at the time, the book is an often scathing look at entrenched attitudes, particularly racism. The drifting journey of Huck and his friend Jim, a runaway slave, down the Mississippi River on their raft may be one of the most enduring images of escape and freedom in all of American literature. The book has been popular with young readers since its publication and is taken as a sequel to The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. It has also been the continued object of study by serious literary critics. The book was criticized upon release because of its coarse language, and became even more controversial in the 20th century because of its perceived use of racial stereotypes and because of its frequent use of the racial slur, "nigger."

From Google News Search: "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn made me hate the character of Tom Sawyer... Should I? Q. Huck has always been my favorite but I have always enjoyed Tom Sawyer as a character. Recently, however, I finally got around to really reading Huckleberry Finn's book and Tom seemed like an annoying brat throughout... Which Tom Sawyer would you say is the 'real' one? The fun loving boy who decides to do the right thing against terrible odds in "Tom Sawyer" or the selfish boy who plays with people's lives in "Huckleberry Finn"?

Even in his own book, Tom is a day-dreaming little brat who can't see past his own desires, mostly. He's constantly pretending to be some kind of romantic daredevil hero, Robin Hood, or a Pirate King, or the head of a band of Robbers. Even when he realizes that his actions have harmed or grieved others, he still likes to put a dramatic edge on his redemption. All in all, Tom is a boy of his time: all play, generally thoughtless, more or less innocent, not bearing a heart of gold, but a heart, very definitely. Twain, as narrator, gives Tom the benefit of the doubt, and persuades us to remember what it was to be a child, and full of dreams. Huck, on the other hand, is a realist.

Does anyone know where I can find a copy of this book online where it talks in everyday dialect instead of words like "ya'll" and o' and and actually have a "g" at the ends of words like ticking and going and wishing.
