Great book!

I'm fairly new to Arthur Miller's books/play's, but I must say that I am thoroughly enjoying his work...

Simply Outstanding

This provided great assistance to my study of the play. I am able to use this as clear reference when I am in short of time to read the book itself.

The narration was clear and it was easy to follow and distinguish which character was speaking.

Absorbing listening

Really good, a great winding up of tension towards the end and not too sentimental at the finish.

Great performances

The performances were excellent, the play translated so well to audio format, I can see why it was reviewed as depressing when the play originally opened - it isn’t happy - but it is extremely moving. I liked the little history lesson at the end as well, gives some context to a time I don’t know too much about.

A classic, but too much shouting

It’s a wonder the actors didn’t get sore throats, all the screaming and yelling going on as the play progressed. It became tedious. Is it really necessary to shout and scream in order to convey emotion? Spoiled it a bit for me.

Timeless

I return to this play time and again. Always relevant. There will always be a heavy price to pay for failing to embrace society as an extension of family.
