Read this for school as I’m doing a scene from it in drama. Really enjoyed it actually- easy to follow and it’s very engaging- always leaving you wondering what will happen next. Would love to see it onstage

The trial scenes were good, but the main character, John Proctor, was such an asshole.  If he didn't have an affair with a girl halve his age, none of the witch trials in the book would have happened.  Even worse, the play demonizes Abigail, the sixteen year old girl who he had sex with.  Disgusting.

I actually liked a book school made me read? Wild, I know. But despite the sexism and the raging historical inaccuracies, it was fun to read. Maybe it was made more enjoyable by the fact that I got to watch my classmates read it out loud in horror and shame. The best thing you can do is make a bunch of high schoolers read out the lines of a horned up 17th-century character lol.
