Huckleberry Finn

I am not really liking my book, the vocabulary is confusing and the whole concept is annoying. I think that I want to give it up, I already have a book in mind... I am going through the phase of the book where Huckleberry is switching on and off of Tom Sawyer's band. Also I am at the bit where his father is causing more and more trouble and trying to get Huckleberry's money. I am confused by the way things are spelled and spend 10 minutes trying to figure out what some of the slaves are saying. I am not so enthusiastic about continuing...
