I'll have you know that I didn't touch the FIRST book. Honestly, I didn't find 'Uncle Tom's Cabin' all that interesting.
The SECOND book, on the other hand, I read it ALL. 'And Then There Were None...' By Agatha Christi or whoever. That was a good one, too.
And don't just use sparknotes. I typed int he name of the book and just put summary at the end, like so:
