5.0 out of 5 stars There is no wonder in why it has survived over a century, September 27, 2000
By A Customer
I resolved to read Uncle Tom's Cabin in my early days of eighth grade. I just finished it about half an hour ago and I don't think the impression it left on me will ever change. Being in a stage of adolescense, if ever-so early, I've got problems. And helping me through these is a person who constantly tries to help me look on the positive side and be thankful for what makes up my life. This book was an ideal aid. Here Harriet Beecher Stowe has put together a tale which is assumed to be based on stories of actual lives tortured by the cruelty of slavery. Legend has it that Abraham Lincoln referred to Mrs. Stowe as the "little lady who started the big war" upon meeting her, and the pages in this book are credible for having done so. Here a true view is given into the darkness of an American reality. Here we have to ask ourselves what we do to others directly and what we do by not doing anything in their defense. Here we have to ask ourselves, "where are we going?" For this nation, alive over a hundred years at the time, was betraying the very basis for which it was founded. And the life of Uncle Tom exposes it's cruelties clearly, as unwanted as they are. Tom is a strong faithed and God fearing man, a credit to man. What he endured has made my eyes moist and my mind churn over my values. But what sustained him was his faith in God. Upon reading this book, think about the nature of humans, and what will happen on God's day of judgement.

4.0 out of 5 stars something to think about, May 14, 2003
A Kid's Review
Uncle Toms Cabin was an interesting book discussing the hardships of slavery in the 1800s. It takes you through life in the eyes of a slave, Tom. Uncle Toms Cabin shows you the hardships slaves went through to not get a beating from their master, though many endured that anyway. It opened my eyes to the reality of slavery, and the severity of it all. The book not only talks about slavery, but it also addresses the issue of religion. Although I did not get a chance to read Uncle Toms Cabin carefully, I enjoyed what I could of it and would definitely re-read it so I could get a better understanding.
i would also definitely recommend this book to anyone that is interested in reading about the slavery issues of the 1800s.

4.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding, but Slow Beginning, May 11, 2003
By Kaitlyn Reuter (Coto de Caza, CA USA) - See all my reviews
When I started to read this book the only thing I knew about slavery was that it was appalling to the society, but towards the middle of this book I began to realize the hardships that the slaves had to go through back then. I couldn't imagine if I was split apart from my family in a slave trade. Harriet Beecher Stowe helps everyone reading this book understand what life would be like if we were slaves. During the time that I was reading this novel I couldn't believe all the hardships that Tom had to go through, going from master to master and having to leave all of his friends. Stowe does a superb job describing the charters and their personalities in this book. At the end of this read it helped me think of what life was like then, and to be glad that we live in the time period that we do. In conclusion, if you want a book that makes a difference in peoples' lives then Uncle Tom's Cabin is the right book for you.
