When Uncle Tom's Cabin was published in 1852, it became an international blockbuster, selling more than 300,000 copies in the United States alone in its first year. Progressive for her time, Harriet Beecher Stowe was one of the earliest writers to offer a shockingly realistic depiction of slavery. Her stirring indictment and portrait of human dignity in the most inhumane circumstances enlightened hundreds of thousands of people by revealing the human costs of slavery, which had until then been cloaked and justified by the racist misperceptions of the time.

It was very difficult to put down. I finally read how Uncle Tom's Cabin had an integral part in opening up the eyes of the people in the North and shocked and wanted to help the slaves. The story was beautifully written with love and concern for the plight of slaves in the South. I read about the heart break of woman who watched their children be taken from them and sold. I cannot even imagine. Yet, Ms Stowe also wrote the point of view from Mr. Augustine St. Claire, who was very wealthy and lived in New Orleans. His conversations with Uncle Tom. St. Claire took very good care of his slaves. But his wife, was a spoiled woman who had different views of the slaves. It was during this section of the book that I cried my eyes out from the highs and lows of the slaves and how quickly their circumstances changed.
If you have not read, Uncle Tom's Cabin, or reread it, pick it up. The book opened up my eyes to the people and times of the1850's.

Would you consider the audio edition of Uncle Tom's Cabin to be better than the print version?
I would not consider the audio edition to be better than the print version. This book is a classic and should be respected in print. That being said, I would not have finished this book with the same understanding and feeling, if I read the book in print.What did you like best about this story?
How real the characters and the story line are. It was heartbreaking and captivating.Which character – as performed by Richard Allen – was your favorite?
Evangeline St. Claire, hands down. He brought the innocence to her character through his voice.If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Heartbreakingly HonestAny additional comments?
This story is a classic and a must read. It is heartbreaking but it helps to bring some deeper understanding to the darker parts of American History.Timeless
