A review by perfect_leaves
Uncle Tom's Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe

5.0

I'm generally not a fan of classics, but this on has been on my list since high school so I thought I'd give it a try. I'm so glad I did. Stowe's writing is powerfully brilliant, and was a welcome reprieve from Oliver Twist (which I read just before UTC). Though none of the events in the novel come as a surprise to me (I'm a Black American, slave history is literally in my blood) I found the plot infinitely interesting. I really wanted to see what happened in the end.

I listened to this book via Librivox. John Greenman is an excellent reader and gave the characters personalities without sounding forced. Highly recommend.
