Half way and I'm thinking, "This isn't as good as the other two of his plays I'm acquainted with," then, within a few pages it takes a turn for the more - dramatic!

I picked this one up because it's on the Rory Gilmore Book List. It's one of the many books Rory reads in Gilmore Girls. I didn't know whether or not I would like it. I kind of did... but I can't really say why. It was frustrating because of the abusive relationships, but... it was interesting.
I read this play as part of Dead Writers Society Literary Birthday Challenge for March. I am so happy that I selected Williams as one of the authors I wanted to read this month.I think in school I may have possibly read one of the first scenes from this play and that was it. Reading the entire play ...

Wow. Well. I guess there's a reason [b:A Streetcar Named Desire|12220|A Streetcar Named Desire|Tennessee Williams|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1389153133s/12220.jpg|142449] is a classic.
A friend asked me what I thought of this play when I was about halfway through with it, and I replied that I really wasn't sure, because I was fairly apathetic towards all of the characters and the plot.
