This was such an emotional work, and the end had me almost in tears. 

Arthur Miller did a great job at portraying the progression of Willy’s mental illness and its effects on him and those around him. I loved how realistic the character interactions were and just how well it showed their relationships and feelings. Personally, I can’t say I really liked any of the characters, but I still found their story compelling. 

My only big issue with this book was that it did become a little confusing to follow at times because of all the flashbacks. But I would love to actually see the play performed.
