A review by francescaranck
Unlce Tom's Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe

5.0

This was a great book, and fantastic if you want something to make you think. Just know it's not the light-reading type. I wish I could say more to do it justice, and hopefully, I'll get to a better review someday. Anyway, my main takeaway is that I'm disappointed that more people haven't read it particularly because of how people today could benefit from it. But also that to be called an " Uncle Tom" is derogatory. It makes me want to ask " Have you actually read the book?". Because honestly, I feel like it's more of a compliment, considering the things he went through, and yet at the end of the day, he loved unconditionally and just wanted to please the Lord. He was truly courageous and people are fools to see that as " submissiveness". Anyway, a great read, and a definite one for your book bucket list. Props to you, Harriet Beecher-Stowe, saying what a lot of people were ( and continue to be) too scared to say.
