It is Huck who gives the book style. The River gives the book its form. But for the River, the book might be only a sequence of adventures with a happy ending. A river, a very big and powerful river, is the only natural force that can wholly determine the course of human peregrination.... Thus the River makes the book a great book... Mark Twain is a native, and the River God is his God
T.S. Eliot
I believe that Huckleberry Finn is one of the great masterpieces of the world
H.L. Mencken
Huckleberry Finn took the first journey back. His eyes were the first eyes that ever looked at us objectively that were not eyes from overseas... he wanted to find out about men and how they lived together. And because he turned back we have him forever
F. Scott Fitzgerald
All modern American literature comes from one book by Mark Twain called Huckleberry Finn...There was nothing before. There has been nothing as good since
Ernest Hemingway
The quintessential American novel
Guardian
The invention of this language, with all its implications, gave a new dimension to our literature. It is a language capable of poetry
Robert Penn Warren
Running all through the book is the sharpest satire on the ante-bellum estimate of the slave
San Francisco Chronicle
