The Glass Menagerie CD

Rating:
Summary: Great book, would read it again and again.
Review: I had to read this for my AP English class. You'd swear Amanda was looking for a gentleman caller for herself, not her own daughter! But, overall, I enjoyed this book.

Rating:
Summary: Heart Wrenching
Review: An excellent drama that opens one's heart and fills it with compassion and hope. The reader is pulled into a world of lost dreams and despair as the characters struggle with facing a reality they are oblivious to. *Note: the symbolism is excellent. Take note in the fragility of the glass unicorn and when it loses its horn. (also, for those lacking vocabulary knowledge, a menagerie is a collecftion)

Rating:
Summary: Not college essay material
Review: I had to write a essay on this book and the book was so lame that I didn't know a thesis that could go with it. I did not like the whole book, it had feeling but not enough to care about. The plot was vague.

Rating:
Summary: Actually I rate it NO stars.
Review: I'd rather stare at a blank page than waste my time reading this book. A blank page would in fact be much more interesting. I found this book near the cash register at my local bookstore. It had obviously been misplaced on its way to the trash can! My money would be put to better use into something else than buying this book! DULL DULL DULL!

Rating:
Summary: Well-written, not very complicated, full of symbols.
Review: This was an ok book. But I still don't understand why this is such a classic in the world of literature as well as the world of theatre. Overall, it is an easy to understand play, the facts aren't totally entangled in superflous details and dull narrations.

Summary: Take it from someone who has played Tom Wingfield. . .
Review: I have done more than read this play, I have acted out the part of Tom Wingfield and was critically acclaimed. While reading this play is good, you have to SEE it to get the full feeling, and you also need a slightly-more-than-competent director in charge. This play can be blah if this play is not performed or read correctly. I had a chance to breathe life into what many consider a dull character. Tom doesn't have to be dull, he's only what you make of him. The same thing is true for all of the characters. I have acted in many plays of which include Fiddler on the Roof (a marvelous play by the way) and I must say that The Glass Menagerie stands out as one of the most well-written, true-to-heart, and tragic plays around. It is a good play to read, but you really must see it. If directed and acted well, you will not be sorry.

Summary: Intriguing and interesting
Review: The Glass Menagerie is a marvelous play. It brings together different styles, characters, and symbols in one all inclusive package. This "memory play" uses illusion to depict the raw pain of past occurances. Williams created a play that is to be treasured by all audiences as an American classic!

Rating:
Summary: Williams once again reaches inside your soul
Review: With descriptive, vibrant characters, Williams pens the most prolific work in the history of classic American drama. He makes you experience the emotions every character in such a way that you can completely comprehend and sympathize with their reasonings and their frame of mind. The contents of this book cannot be conformed to the limits of the English language.
