A gripping classic
Classics can be a bit boring, but not this classic! Uncle Tom's Cabin is filled with complex plots and characters that you can't help but root for.

You follow the story of uncle Tom, a slave living in Kentucky. His story is one of hardship, pain, and loneliness with beautiful examples of love and faith woven through.

Eliza is also an important character. She's a woman fighting to keep her family together and free. Her adventurous escape is daring and dangerous. Thrilling to say the least!

This book is impossible to put down! It fosters deep thoughts and perspectives about slavery and racism. Not an easy read but definitely worth it!

Highly Recommend This!!!
Drop whatever you are doing and get yourself a copy of this book asap. I've always loved Irish myths and legends and in particular, the deities and man this book left me foaming at the mouth for more.

There's so much I want to say about this captivating storyline and the many beautiful characters but I can't without revealing the many spoilers. Annie Cosby's writing style immediately transports you into this well-written story and I swear that I kept catching myself trying to imitate the dialect.

I ohed and awed throughout the entire page-turning read which kept me in its grip the entire time and when I reached the end I wanted to scream because now I have to wait until the second book!!

I LOVED it and recommend it to one and all!!!

Sooo..... YYEAAAAHHH this was crap.

Not in the worst way imaginable but this was a high struggle for me to get through.

But i couldn't put it down.

I was going to DNF this at first due to the writing and the dialect and the god awful main characters but after 100 pages in I put myself back in my freshman years and holy crap did this book do Freshman 1st love justice.

I remember thinking a lot of the same things and being that over-exaggerated at that age

But it was still a struggle not to continue to roll my eyes through most of this.

I was okay with the ending .

It gave it a fresh take on real relationships and i could appreciate the author ending it the way he did.

I definitely want to try another book from this author that's not in YA.

"I was a little sceptical at first, because he's so young. The term 'blues' has come to be quite different than what I know as blues in a traditional sense. I've been tagged as this blues-rock guitar player and on more than a tolerable number of occasions I've been accosted by people who say, ""You must listen to this new young guy! A blues player, you won't believe it!"" And usually, no, I don't. 

Quinn Sullivan seems to have what it takes. The 'blues' seems to be rediscovered about every ten years but in this case I think it's well done. It's certainly encouraging. Interpreting the blues in an appealing manner is not so different than attempting to speak a recently-learned foreign language. You can memorise the instruction book but it's the dialect that allows you to enter the society as a true speaker of the language."
