I knew Uncle Tom's Cabin had been out for many years, but I never got around to actually reading it. My father even brought it home for me when I was a young child (he always encouraged me to read, & would only bring home books of a classic nature), but like a chile of 9, it was way over my head.Now as an adult, a senior one at that, I decided to begin to read it. Although it took me about a week to finish, I found it to be extremely emotional! There were times that I would have to lay it down, take a break, then resume after a while.The treatment & use of the slave trade was so overwhelming at times. Uncle Tom's Cabin has a whole lot of drama, a minute amount of comedy, and so many trials & tribulations of Tom that as the reader, you would wish him a better life. I was just saddened through-out the majority of this book that in order to make a fair or good review, is almost too hard.I'm glad I finally got to read this book, but in some ways, I'm sorry I did. You as the reader, will have to make up your own minds, for this IS a very emotional, heart breaking story to read.Enjoy as well as you can.
