“Grover Gardner contributes a resonant announcer’s baritone, superb technique, musical expressiveness, and a fond, intelligent understanding. He is less a narrator here than a storyteller, one of the best this reviewer has heard…This is the one that best expresses the brilliance of Twain’s rendering of dialect and a rural boy’s sensibility. A judicious use of sound processing enhances his performance. Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award.”

A Washington Post Best Audiobook Pick
Huck Finn is an orphaned drifter who loves freedom more than respectability. He isn’t above lying and stealing, but he faces a battle with his conscience when he meets up with a runaway slave named Jim, who provides him with his first experiences of love, acceptance, and a sense of responsibility.
The title character of this famous novel tells his own story in a straightforward narrative laced with shrewd, sharp comments on human nature. The boy’s adventures along the Mississippi River provide a framework for a series of moral lessons, revelations of a corrupt society, and contrasts between innocence and hypocrisy. The colorful cast of characters—including the crafty grifters, the Duke and the King—help make this a memorable classic.

Fantastic Novel, Fantastic Performance!
A wonderful novel by Mark Twain. I had read it some 25 years ago for school and remembered liking it a lot. Since I was provided this for free when Downpour had their free audiobook of the month, I decided I should be thankful for such a gift and revisit it after all of these years. I am so glad I did. The story is much more mature than The Adventures of Tom Sawyer which is more about young boys and girls playing make believe where as The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn contains deeper philosophical themes concerning the right of man to be free, even in light of society's beliefs that all men are not created for or deserving of freedom. I was a little worried when Tom Sawyer showed up toward the end as the book began to revert back to some of the writing style of the Sawyer book, but Twain did not disappoint and brought it back on track for a fantastic ending. Like I said, this book is much more complex than the Adventures of Tom Sawyer and one can definitely see the maturing of Twain's talents as a writer between the two. As for narration, it is unbelievable what Tom Parker does with all of the accents and dialects of each character. By the way, I'm not sure why it says Grover Gardener narrates this version, it is actually Tom Parker. I thought Mr. Gardener did a knock out job with the Adventures of Tom Sawyer, but Tom Parker takes it to a whole different level with this performance. This is a must read/listen for anybody looking to explore great American literature.

Great narration
I am a teacher, and I used this in class while students followed along. Grover Gardner is exceptionally adept at handling the accents, which can pose a challenge to students and teachers alike while reading out loud. He also captures the satirical humor through his reading in a subtle but impactful way.
