Review:

“Time is the longest distance between two places.”

I ashamed to say this will not be a very long blog because one this is not a very long book and two I don’t really know what to say.

I thought this book was kind of boring. I had to read this book for school and it took me a week to read it but in all honesty, it could have probably taken an hour. This story is a play and it is probably a fantastic play but I wasn’t that interested in reading it because it was just boring. I thought some things were interesting and I loved how Williams wrote in loads of symbols and had a really tragic play exemplifying dysfunctional American families. But other than that I wasn’t the biggest fan of it.

I think this book is one for people with different tastes than me. I don’t think it was like that intriguing. I thought it was really well written but I didn’t like the story that much. I don’t believe that my opinion should deter anyone from reading this. This book was just not the story for me.

Star Rating: 3

  1. It does make a better play (or movie) than it does a book. Just as I’m sure you’d enjoy “Cursed Child” even more if you could see the play. Plays are just meant to be played.
