this book is a masterclass in dialog. it made this book so easy and so fast to read- i think i read this in like 2 days. the way that language makes its impact in this book is crazy. i think its by far the best part of this book. 

that being said, i think everything outside the dialog (mainly action seems) were a written a bit unclear and i was confused what was happening at times. i also really didnt like the more significant changes to the original huckleberry fin that were made towards the end of the book- i feel like it removed a lot of the nuance around it, though i can definitely understand why those choices were made. 

but yeah, a super readable book that talks about language and how it can be used to oppress and liberate. highly recommend this one
