Summary: Could have been better!
Review: I believed that the book was very well written and that Tennessee Williams is a great writer. I also believe that this was not one of his best books. I didn't like how Amanda was always on Toms' case. Amanda also sheltered Laura way to much which could have made her the way she is today. Scared and alone. The part with Mr. O'Connor was kinda pointless to get someones feeling all twisted and upset is not cool. It made me feel like I was going through what Laura was going through and there is nothing to be done about it.That messes with our emotions and thats could send someone into a deep drepression. The books could habve been better. Maybe I just didn't like the plot.

Summary: my thoughts about the book
Review: The story is good but the only thing that I disliked was the mother. She got on my nerves, but that was the point. So the point was taken. I liked the story it was kind of interresting story. If I had to read it again I would probably take a F.....

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Funny.
Review: My favorite character was the old witch. Every time she would ramble on about herself I was cracking up.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: My Opinion
Review: I thougth The glass Mengrie was an alright book, but it wasn,t a 5 star book. The actors who portrayed these characters did a great job. The story would had been much better if it had more o a plot. Through the hole story it's just the same thing going on. Amanda's getting on someones nerves, or tom is arguing and leaving. I also did not like the ending. it could've ended muh better.

Summary: this book sucked but it is a classic
Review: Ok, maybe it is a classic but, it does not deserve to be a High School required book, i mean the whole gist of the book was how horrible this one guys life was and honestly there are people in the real world with disabilitys like lauras and if i was them i would be depressed as hell after reading this book. and toms constant naging about how horrible his life was ruined the book and im not even gonna talk about the mother and her refusel to let her life even begin because she is to worried about a man in the family and she treated her son as if he was five, a bad message to all the to be high school mothers out there
this book sucked but to some it is a classic.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Glass Menagerie is a must read
Review: The Glass Menagerie is a perfect example of southern houspitality. The story is appealing and there are colorful characters. This book makes me wish I lived back in these days. The books wonderful word usage sweeps you off your feet, and throws you into an indepth story of love,loneliness,and despair. The Glass Menagerie follows the adventurous life of Tom,Amanda, and Laura Wingfield. This book has everything a reader could ask for. If you do not read this book www.amazon.com isn't losing, your losing.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: My Impressions On The Book
Review: The book kept me interested untill the end.Even tho there was no adventure or action in the book. I thought that the book had no ending. I would not suggest reading this book in the future.

The book had a good story line, but ended no where. Leaving me in confusion.The gentleman caller was hypet up to be something that he wasnt. The mother was very annoying. She made me fustrated, and I wanted to put the book down.

Overall if you have no life and are a boring person, you would probably like this book.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Not very much action.....
Review: It started off kind of slow. Then it picked up a little. It did not have any action at all. It was very boring. It just did not intrest me. I need a book with some action. It pretty much just put me to sleep. The characters seemed very dull, the setting was dull, pretty much everything about the book was dull and boring. I would not recommend this book to anyone.

Summary: Starts slow stay's slow, but it's not to bad..
Review: I somewhat liked the book. It stated off slow and really dident pick up.. But it had a great climax. It was a fun book to read, but I would read it before bed, because some parts will put you to sleep! There really isent any twist or turns, if there is they are very slow. But over all it is a good book to read. It's great for high school kids. Over all I enjoyed reading it!
