In 1885, while The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn was becoming one of the bestselling American classics of modern times, Mark Twain began this sequel in which Huck Finn, Tom Sawyer, and Jim head west on the trail of two white girls kidnapped by Sioux warriors. Fifteen thousand words into the work, Twain stopped in the middle of a sentence, never to go back. The unfinished story sat on dusty shelves for more than a hundred years until author Lee Nelson decided to finish it, using Twain's incomplete manuscripts. The result is a story of adventure, wit, and wisdom, with readers saying they can't tell where Twain leaves off and Nelson begins. Tom and Huck seek true love while tramping through Indian country, stealing from the US Army, facing a gunfight and hangman's noose in California, and learning the hard way that "book Injuns and real Injuns ain't the same."

Mark Twain's portion I enjoyed, but Lee Nelson didn't do his side justice. There were some errors and even some slipping out of the language here and there that made it apparent that he didn't do his homework or his editor/proofreader wasn't up to task. The Mark Twain side - I'd have given at least a 3.5...but weighed down by the Nelson side (maybe just barely a 3) it keeps the book as a whole at just a 3. I don't think Nelson worked hard enough to represent a literary legend. For a better example of someone running with Twain's work respectfully, I'd point to Finn by Jon Clinch. ( )
