What's so shocking about that?

Many readers of Huck Finn would argue the last 
section of the book (once Tom Sawyer comes in and 
starts running the show) is quite flawed, for a 
variety of reasons!!!!!!
And I count myself among them.

Many an astute reader of that great novel have 
been disappointed by the turns the story takes 
once Tom Sawyer sort of takes over from Huck Finn.
