Readable reconstruction of a classic
Very interesting view of an American classic novel taken from the perspective of the less prominent character in Mark Twain’s original. It is not necessary to have read the adventures of huckleberry Finn before starting in James as the author provides enough background - although with a few variations on the original. Enjoyable book and worthwhile reading.
