This was interesting!! I loved how the characters interacted and the sense of mystery I felt reading. I’ve never read a play before, this was a good one.

It was very dark. There is a lot talked about in this book and none of it is happy. However, it was well written and I did enjoy it but I wouldn’t recommend to everyone.

Will need to reread to fully grasp my opinions, but very many troubling, however important, themes throughout and is representative of the time it was written. Great execution from Williams!

As tags say, read at your own risk of these! These things would usually mean I don't pick up the book in the first place, but it was a required reading. Still really good in grasping the attitudes towards different minorities and treatment of such groups in the 1940s America.
