A review by alisarae
Uncle Tom's Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe
What a fantastic book. I can't believe I put off reading it until now, but I always have trouble finishing books with written accents. The audiobook is a perfect solution to this (complete with singing the various hymns!).
It is a biting cause of self reflection that so many attitudes and hypocrisies in the American church at that time are still true today. Humans are hypocrites now and forever, I suppose. With regards to this, Augustine St. Claire is my hands down favorite character in the book, maybe even one of my all time favorites. His deadpan honesty about human behavior is better than your average Sunday sermon in causing effective soul searching. Too bad more people aren't as honest with themselves about their motives and doubts as he is.
