Summary
Uncle Tom's Cabin was the best-selling novel of the 19th century and the second best-selling book of that century, following the Bible. It is credited with helping fuel the abolitionist cause in the 1850s. In 1855, three years after it was published, it was called "the most popular novel of our day." A thrilling and important piece of American literature!

This story will stay with me for life
Amazing touching and very very sad, I loved listening to this and wanted it to turn out different. I will listen to it again .you get a feel for the characters and a sense of what they went through. A very touching account of an awful history,I did shed a tear or too .people can be so awful

Brilliant story, poor narration
Would you try another book written by Harriet Beecher Stowe or narrated by Mary Sarah?
I'd read another book by the author, but will definitely avoid this narrator in future.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Uncle Tom's Cabin?
There were many, some memorable because of the terrible tragedy of them,others for the heroism of the characters. Many of these scenes were based on true events.
How could the performance have been better?
Although the narrator has a good voice and used an appropriate accent, the performance was jerky, the expression often didn't match the meaning, and many words were mispronounced.I got the impression that the narrator had not practised before she made the recording.
Did Uncle Tom's Cabin inspire you to do anything?
It brought home to me the horrors of slavery, and it also helped me understand some of the complicated reasons why this abuse of human beings persisted and was so difficult to end.It inspires me to think about what abuses still continue today, to which I may be turning a blind eye and which I may feel more comfortable to leave unchallenged, in the way that many basically good people allowed slavery to continue unchallenged.
Any additional comments?
The author must have been courageous to write this famous book, and I understand it had a profound effect on the history of the United States.The narration unfortunately does not do it justice.

A book everyone should listen to
There are some flaws in the narration of the initial chapters but it improved significantly after that and overall I thought it was very good.

terrible narration, beyond bad
What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
Ive wanted to get this book for ages but the narration is terrible. I will buy the book instead.
How could the performance have been better?
change the narrator
