Book Reviews of Uncle Tom's Cabin (Wordsworth Classics)

Book Review: Forget what you've heard, and read this book!
Summary: 5 Stars

Having just completed this book, I am astounded--both by its(underserved) racist reputation and its sheer force. No doubt, Stowe was unable to write free of the influence of her own racism. But, this book deserves to be read--especially now, at this time of year, when Christians celebrate Easter and Jews Passover. Personally, it has given me an idea, in as much as a white woman living in 1999 may have, of the pure montstrosity of slavery. As a Jew, I am gratful to have finished this book in time for my Passover Seder. I do not think I will ever think of the Exodus story in the same way again. I think the entire country should be reading and discusing this amazing book. I'll be talking about it at my Seder. I would welcome e-mail from other readers. Maybe we can start a campaign to have Oprah choose the book as one of her book club selections.
