Death of a Salesman. Where do I even begin? I saw this play in January of 2013, and thought it was amazingly good. They had brought in a house on stage, and used it as scenography. And just that was enough for me to go wild. Anyway, when I was in London, I bought the script for the play, and recentl...

Wasn't as bad as some make it out to be; the play has it's clever parts, and sad parts, but Willy is a highly annoying character, and the phasing between past and current events sometimes becomes confusing without a visual of the scenes.

I had to read this in High School..For the life of me, I don't know why I gave it 3 stars because the book bored me to tears. I just couldn't get into it and it was depressing as all get-out.
