The better to see you, my dear
The better to see you, my dear rated it 7 years ago
When ruling is based, and made stringent, on fear of an outside opponent, and someone has the brilliant idea of escalating yet to marking a personal opponent as an outsider, and it catches. Might be easier to stomach going in without knowing how the episode goes and likely part of the reason that ...

This book contains first, a part about Dadaism and then a part for Surrealism: Two of the greatest literary movements in twentieth century. As my rating in GR tends to higher stars, 3 stars actually mean it was just OK for me. It didn't have enough examples and explanations; rather it was more about...

I absolutely loved this play. I had to read Death of a Salesman for school and instantly fell in love with Miller's style. After such great works as Death of a Salesman and The Crucible, I wasn't sure how All My Sons would measure up, especially after reading mixed reviews about it. But I think this...

Many people debate which play would be considered to be the greatest play written by an American and to be honest this play comes pretty close. However, I am not a really big fan of American Literature (in the same way that I am not a really big fan of Australian Literature). I think it would be str...

This is one of the few plays I remember reading in high school and I've been wanting to revisit it for a while, but never got around to it. While it isn't entirely historically accurate, I think it is a fascinating, and somewhat frightening, look at the actions of a society in the midst of hysteria....

I hate to rate this so low when it seems that the only people who do so are those forced to read it by a cruel teacher. I'm even more troubled by the fact that I haven't seen anyone else bring up what bothers me about this play.Yes, it's well written -- that is, the dialogue is expertly handled. The...

I read Death of a Salesman in high school and it did absolutely nothing for me. Now I've read this play and it also did nothing at all for me.I should like this play. I have read about the European Witch Trials, especially the Scottish ones and I find them fascinating. I am strongly interested in...
My sodding goodreads replacement (maybe)
Maybe studying this book in school has soured my opinion of it, but I can't say I enjoyed it all that much. Still, definitely not a terrible book, and I won't bother rating it because SCHOOL-BIAS.
