Grilling on lazy Sunday afternoons and bowling with the league after getting off work at five. This is the stereotypic...
[3.5 stars]
Like most classic works, this is something everyone should read once. It's a little bit all over the place for my tastes, but heartbreaking and thought provoking as well. I feel as though seeing it performed would probably do it more justice than reading it did, but I definitely recommend taking it ...
