Download Uncle Tom’s Cabin Audiobook

" Not the best-written book I've read, but one of those classics you just have to have on the mental bookshelf. "

" I went back and reread this after giving it to my neice who was interested in learning more about race and slavery in America. It definately made more of an impact than it did in high school. Though I remember being very moved by it then as well. It's a classic that holds up and should be read by everyone. "

" It took me way too long to read this book. H.B. Stowe is an American writer who fled to Paris when pressure over this book became so extreme. She is featured in the book "The Greater Journey" by McCullough which I highly recommend. The writing style of the time is so different than contemporary works but how timely and what a thoughtful and thorough treatment of the subject matter. Should be required reading for every American. "

" What a great book. I can't imagine the shock and horror people must have felt when they read this book in the 1800's. Hooray for Harriet Beecher Stowe! "

" This book was amazing. I wish I could sit down and have a cup of coffee with Ms. Stowe... The characters in this book are archetypal, but that didn't make them feel less real to me. I credit that to Ms. Stowe's ability to draw the reader inside the mind and body of her characters. I am ashamed to say that a few years ago I might have made an off-hand comment about slavery being over a long time ago, so there shouldn't be any racial issues in America anymore. This book makes that opinion impossible to maintain. "

" I enjoyed it. I thought she did a great job showing all the different types of people in the south. "

" I really enjoyed this book. It gave me a different view on Slavery. It is all about luck. You might get it easy like Eliza and Haley. Or it might suck like it did for Tom. There were difficulties for Eliza and Haley like running from Loker and crossing the icy river, but in the end they gained their freedom. Tom on the hand is sold to St. Clare who dies. He is then forced to work in terrible conditions. Shelby tries to buy tom back, but he dies. The conditions slaves were put through were brutal. "

" Fabulous story! One of those books I could read over and over... "

" I'd heard about this book for years and I finally read it. It was very different than I expected, but I really appreciated it. It was eye opening for many reasons. It was the highest selling novel in the 19th century! "

" interesting perspective on slavery. never remember reading when I was younger. "

" Though I read this for a class, I still enjoyed it (especially when contrasted with "The Deerslayer", my other forced read). Easy to read with some very good lessons. "

" Its historical importance can't be overstated, but I personally found it to be very tedious and unenjoyable. "

" I thought it dragged a bit but it was good. i read this book years ago for a project "

" Simple, good book. Not too big to be hard to read, not too little so that the desired impression could be made. "

" Makes you feel sad to know that someday on this earth such massive evil once existed , "

" This book is worth the time to read as an adult. "

" Great book that speaks to contemporary issues. The ending felt forced. "

" This was my first time reading this, and it wasn't at all what I expected. It was far more readable, despite the very heavy-handed use of religion and her unconscious racism. "

" I really enjoyed this book and only wish I had read it sooner! I don't think a thorough review of thsi book by me will add anything new to a classic. "

" One of my favorite books of all time! "

" The only book I ever read more than once! "

" This book, in my opinion, is only important as a piece of history—the first protest novel, important for helping to foment the Civil War, also an important documentation of the cruel practices of slavery, etc. As literature, it's garbage. "

" I think I may have read this before...but good read none-the-less! "

" An interesting book about the history of African Americans. "

" I'm still searching for these book in bookstore. I want the old one. "

" The ending is so sad but it makes you feel good about the way everything turned out. "

" Once I got about 80 pages in, I got used to the language and was drawn into the story. Heartfelt and worth reading, some xxx years after it was written. "

" This was a very good book. It was hard to read(the ebonics are hard to read for me) but I am glad that I read it. "

" One of the beautiful book i ever read in my life.. "

" I started this book about 2.5 years ago! I keep it in my car, so I only read it when I am stuck in traffic or at a long red light. "
