I was actually never required to read this in school but it's always been in the TBR. Finally got around to it this month and finished in just a few days. There are some really great stories in this book! Sad that my teachers never sold it more beyond "yeah it was important in its day". There's stil...
This book was amazing. It wasn't at all the stuffy, difficult read I was expecting. Despite the length of the book, I blazed through it, reading in all my spare time over a period of about 5 days or so.

Wow. This is probably the best written book I have ever read. The breadth of language used is amazing for a book written when it was. The characters are so life like, I feel like I lost some of my best friends. It conveys the subject matter without being preachy or over bearing but relies on the...
I was going through old schoolwork today, and found a book review that I wrote for Grade 11 American History (I'm Canadian). Hence, the following is a condensed version of my paper, which represents my thoughts on the book at the time that I read it.It has been said that upon meeting Harriet Beecher...
