Uncle Tom's Cabin Review
Uncle Tom's Cabin is a novel that touched many people's lives including my own. It made me realize just how lucky I am to be living like I am today. Harriet Beecher Stowe takes us through the lives of two slaves, Tom and Eliza. We read about their triumphs and hardships that they go through in order to get one thing. Freedom. There are just a few things that I didn't enjoy about this book. The dialogue that takes place in Uncle Tom's Cabin was a little more difficult to understand than what I am normally used too. Another thing that I didn't really like was all the details about the punishments that the slaves had to endure. Overall, I think that this book is a book that everyone should have the opportunity to read. I am very glad that I read this book.

Astounding!
I began this book thinking that I would just breeze through it in a few weeks. Instead, it took we a few months to complete. This book is compelling and absolutely astounding! It made me think about that time period and how it must have affected the people in the United States who read this book. This compelling story is about a pious and strong-willed man named Tom and his journey in the slave trade. He goes through immeasurable pain and suffering yet he still tries to see the best in people. As he travels from master to master his faith never waivers. Harriet Beecher Stowe's characters completely amazed me and swept me off my feet. If you are interested in reading all the perspectives about the slave trade I highly recommend "Uncle Tom's Cabin." This story will inspire and have you analyzing the behavior of our ancestors. Go and read this book!

my favorite book
right after lotr ttt. i think this book is awesome because it's got an engaging plot, with some "historial" references mixed in. if you're easily bored don't read the sermons where she begins with "dear reader/mother" and goes in to stir your pity. it's got a really fascinating ending and i'm just sad the real life cases never ended that way. read this if you're looking for something entertaining with historical background. no need to be studying history at all because i'm glad i read this even though i'm still in high school.
