 Printing ProblemsAug 14, 2010
Beware this edition - at least until the printing problems are resolved. I bought two copies and each copy duplicated pages 85-116 and did not include pages 117-148. Amazon has not yet provided replacements so I wonder if all its print run of this edition is affected in the same way.
 Came quickly in fine condition.Aug 10, 2010
Great to get a book my grandson needed for AP English quickly and economically. Glad you are there.
Excellent annotated edition of Huckleberry FinnJul 30, 2010
This is an excellent edition of a controversial novel that has been both reviled and praised. As for me, I am of the opinion that the book depicts life as it was in the period "Huckleberry Finn" was set in, and the colloquialisms and vocabulary used may not be politically correct in contemporary times, but it is a historically authentic representation of the language as it was used then.
The author/editor of this book, Michael Patrick Hearn, has drawn on myriad primary sources and other materials in coming up with the annotations. In addition, Hearn provides a detailed introduction dealing with Twain, his work, and background information on the novel Huckleberry Finn. This particular edition is also a gem because of the inclusion of all of the original illustrations by E.W. Kemble. The book is also filled with other drawings, photographs, cartoons, etc. that make this book a delight to peruse and read. There is also a detailed bibliography which lists works by Mark Twain, notable editions of Huckleberry Finn, titles on Mark Twain, books about Huckleberry Finn, and books about E.W. Kemble. Love it or hate it, I think author Toni Morrison best sums it up with these words, "...It is classic literature, which is to say, it heaves, manifests, and lasts."
Just What I NeededJul 21, 2010
Received the book in the right time and also it was in better shape than promoted on the website. I would definitely recommend this vendor.
AwesomeJul 13, 2010
There is nothing like a great narator, and Tom Parker is one, to tell this great tale.
Mr. Parker's voice sounds just the way I believe Mark Twain would have told it.
