Boring Old Huck

The story of Huckleberry Finn has become very boring and uninteresting. All Huck seems to be doing now is lying his way out of one situation in one town only to be forced to make up another back story for himself and Jim once they get into another situation in another town. The problem is that almost all of these situations seem to be the same. Huck and Jim are always going to encounter people who somehow almost figure out that Jim is a runaway slave and that Huck is helping him out. I hope the book gets more interesting towards the end.

  1. The book might be boring for some readers but i personaly do not belive that the book is boring. It's just that the book is long and i think it gets better and better if u get in to it.

  2. I disagree that the novel is boring. It is true that Huck seems to have to lie to get out of sticky situations, but every situation is different and enlightening. Huck made a quick, but creative lie to protect Jim from white men who were looking for runaway slaves. A time when Huck didn't lie was when Huck was staying at the Grangerfords. He had to flee to save his life in that suspenseful scene.
