Story is good, narration is amazing

The book and story is good, but I wanted to write a review just to mention that the narration of this book by Susie Berneis is by far the best I've ever heard. She does so many unique voices and accents of so many different characters, it's really incredible. Worth it for the performance alone.

Great

I enjoyed the narration. What a sad yet triumphant novel. Triumphant for Tom, Eva, St. Clair, George, Eliza, Ophelia, Topsy, the Shelbys, all rising above the fray and looking to God for ultimate redemption.

life changing

a beautiful story of finding freedom and the cruelties of slavery. heart wrenching truth, but need to be heard by all.

Classic, but not a masterpiece

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

I always wanted to read this book. I chose the audible version simply due to time, and I am glad I listened and not read. Had I read the book, I would have put it down. The other reason to listen/read this book is because it, like many good books, are on the "banned book" list by those that like to control morality through bans, laws, and control.
In the end I was glad to finally check the book off.

What about Susie Berneis’s performance did you like?

The performance was spectacular and flawless. I was pleasantly surprised at the flow of some of the words and terms that would make most people stumble and stutter.

Was Uncle Tom's Cabin worth the listening time?

I believe it was worth listening to. The accomplishment of saying the book is done overreaches the content however.

Any additional comments?

The book is littered with Christianity references, which isn't offensive - despite not being a Christian - but is nonetheless a bit too much for my palate. Those that can't stand a few hours of those types of references might want to steer away.
