Sobering still

By Michael B. Grant on July 7, 2014

Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase

I have heard about this book my whole life but never understood what it was about. If, like me you make the assumption that it is a book about a slave that "sells out his own race", which is the definition of Uncle Tom that I gathered by looking at television and hearing the term used, you will surely miss the entire point of this book. Instead, the book is about a slave that is steadfast in his beliefs and principles. A man that holds on to his faith in Jesus. I really don't get the common use of the term after reading this.

Every one should read this book. It can be a hard read as it is a glimpse into a dark period in history.

Excellent book

By Nikii Whitehead on April 19, 2013

Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase

In reading this book you either fall in love and empathize with the characters or truly dislike the characters. It is hard to get into this book because of the strange dialect. Do not let this stop you. I promise you will enjoy if you continue reading.

A captivating story!

By Deborah on April 17, 2013

Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase

The book catches the attention of the reader from the beginning. But throughout I kept wondering why this book brought about such a stir for change. Though the stories told by the writer were accurate accounts of the times I'm sure, I kept thinking they were too mild a depiction of the atrocities that had actually occurred. I kept thinking "how could such a timid account of the institution of slavery have stirred our nation so?" I wondered, "where is the grotesque, the horrors, why am I reading a happily ever after accounting of such an awful institution. To be sure this was not what I was expecting to read. This couldn't be the book history has claimed to have stirred our country to begin to finally consider the abolition of such a horrible scourge afflicting the nation.

Then I get to the last Chapter where our author brings to account both the North and the South. Both are held responsible, both are guilty. The South for carrying out the atrocities and the North for standing by allowing it to continue. But our author didn't stop there. She went on to throw blame and guilt on the leaders of Christianity for twisting God's Word to justify the actions of both North and South. Both sides could not be right and the treatment of slaves in the North was not what it should have been if one believed in the Word of God. After reading the last Chapter I applaud Harriet Beecher Stowe for having the courage to write such a book in such a trying time as our nation was living then. She was truly a woman of courage and inspiration. I wish I had read this years ago and I highly recommend it to all who are interested in the history of this country.

To All Who Love Honor & Integrity

By MaryLee on April 19, 2013

Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase

I cannot for the life of me understand why this book should not be read. I think Uncle Tom represents all who value integrity. I loved the light that shines in this book. May we all help in our own way those who need our help.

It is a complement to be called an "Uncle Tom"

By Amazon Customer on May 23, 2014

Format: Kindle Edition

The lesson I learned is that Uncle Tom is to be compared to Job. His faith rose above the devastation wrought by slavery. He did not give in to the cruelty of Simon Legree and remained faithful to Christian principles throughout the story. He was a true leader. It is through ignorance of his character that a person who is weak or servile is called an "Uncle Tom". The truth is just the opposite. Stowe was masterful at affecting my emotions and bringing out feelings for people who wound up slaves. It is mind boggling to envision the plantation owner having mixed children and then selling or trading them as slaves. This book has given me an insight to the plight of the African-American today. America did destroy a race of people and has not paid its debt to them, and maybe never can.

UNCLE TOM'S CABIN by Harriet Beecher Stowe

By Mary Danner on April 23, 2013

Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase

This is absolutely one of the best books I have ever had the pleasure to read.Of course now, every one knows what this book is about, and IF you don't, READ it now.
OK, slavery and anti-slavery with true incidents being described, it is enough to get all but the most heartless of hearted to weep for the plight of slavery.
I believe that this is the most strongly written book I have read and most strongly recommend it to all readers.
Thanks

an eye opener

By beets on June 11, 2014

Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase

This is a very good book. Some of the slang and dialog is difficult to understand. You have to continue to remind yourself that this book is over 150 years old. It was well written and in some ways timeless. Slavery is horrible and an abomination. I could not ever understand being so cruel. This is an Eye opener. I learned of slavery in school but, that didn't even teach you how cruel and horrible a person could be to another. Well, worth the read.

A classic

By Amazon Customer on February 24, 2014

Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase

I'm sorry I waited until I was in my 70's to read this classic. Slavery can never be put in a good light. Harriet Beecher Stowe emphasized the breaking up of families with tenderness and compassion. We cannot undo what was done but can certainly move forward and love all mankind and treat one another as we want to be treated.
