I do think most adults will appreciate it more than kids...mainly because I think there are some mature themes in the book.

I think your review is right on. I don't understand why it is not mandatory reading in schools - it should be in either a lit or history class. It is one of the best American novels ever written. Further more, Uncle Tom is not a character to be scorned but one who should be respected by all. Sorry so late finding your review but I just read the book myself for the 1st time.

I have some things I should like to say about the book Uncle Tom's Cabin but I do not know how blogging works at all. After many, many tries, this is the first one I found that let me give an opinion. My view is that Uncle Tom hardly deserves the opprobrium with which his name is connected in our time. I also have some historical facts that illustrate much of what I think is the reason so many Bible readers did support slavery, and I should like to connect many older laws about slavery, from times before it was a legal act in The United States, to the laws passed during the time when slaves were burdened with their lot here. Sorry this is so long. Please contact me should you wish. Read the article with great interest.

I agree with your thoughts on moving the masses...it is amazing what a well written book can do!

I think fiction is one of the most powerful ways to move the masses, to get them to see outside of their own perspectives. Great review.
