The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain

Seriously, how did this ever become the great American novel? How could this interest anyone over ten years of age? I suppose the sympathetic depiction of African Americans is much less powerful these days, but even when concessions are made for that, I still can't get past the simple language and harebrained schemes that made it impossible for me to enjoy.

A huge disappointment.
