I know I have read this book before but it was over 20 years ago and I have decided it is time to read it again but this time I decided to listen to this audiobook instead.

I very much enjoyed this story and I am so glad I have given this one a listen.

The narrator did a fantastic job.

The narrator did a brilliant job with this audio book, which increased my enjoyment of it. The different accents were handled really well. It was a fun experience.

Thanks a lot to the publisher and NG for granting this audio book.

This is a review of the audiobook, and not the classic novel, which has been read and reviewed millions of times already. This audiobook brings new life to it, however. . Robin Miles does a wonderful job handling the many dialects in this book, which pose a great level of difficulty. She handled this task with talent and professionalism. In fact, I think she does the best Huck Finn I've heard on an audiobook. I will definitely seek out her other work.

I received a free copy of this audiobook from Thomas Nelson and Netgalley. My review is voluntary.

The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain | review.

Genre: Classic.

Rating: Three Stars for the story… Five stars for the audiobook format!

Netgalley recently started their own audiobook program and I cannot be happier! I love audiobooks and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn was my first listen. I’ve been reading a classic each month this year and this was a good July pick.

The audiobook was excellently done. Seriously, the narrator, Robin Miles, is super talented. I’m not sure I would have made it through this book in a physical format. Robin Miles did a great job bringing the different characters and their dialects to life.

As for the actual story, it was hard to take. Yes, a lot of it was political satire of the 1800s, but it was also hard to hear the n-word over and over. This book tells the story of a boy’s journey down the Mississippi on a raft after escaping his drunken father. He is soon joined by Jim, a run-away slave, and the two encounter a whole cast of strange characters. They get into lots of trouble and there is lots of lies and trickery.

All in all, the story was fine. As with many classics, I felt like it rambled on for a little too long.

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.
