Summary: Wilson's African-American History Lesson Continues
Review: An excellent entry in Wilson's seven play cycle of drama depicting African-American history decade by decade. "Two Trains Running" which takes place in a rundown diner in late 1960's Pittsburgh, deals with the bold confrontation against racism. In the characters of Hambone and Memphis we see the war on discrimination waged on an everyday basis. Read Wilson's masterpieces ("Fences" and "The Piano Lesson") first. You will then feel compelled to read them all.

Summary: It's a play
Review: I didn't see this in the official review, so I'm just going to put that it's a review in case that matters to you. I'm getting this for Summer reading and it's the shortest from the list :-p

Summary: Good story with realistic feel
Review: It is a story that can make you feel as if you are in the story actually seeing all the characters. It is written in slang and in a play but people can later on forget about it and really get into the story. It is a good book. I am reading it because of the mandatory summer school reading. This is one of the few books that I have read/enjoyed. I recommend it to everyone.

Summary: Deep Stuff
Review: The characters of Memphis and Hambone have nothing to hide is there search for what the white man owes them. Wilson may have over done it on the symbolism for some but I found it fascinating.
