Micro-review: I thought the writing was very good and the story was extremely compelling while at times disturbing. It did not, however, follow the same storyline as that found in Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, deviating quite distinctly in the last half of the book. Still a great read, if you can stomach the descriptions of the cruelties of slavery, and it was interesting to read literarily historic characters in someone else's voice.
