I read this for school and I was okay. i feel like Blanche is a character that will stay with me, but the play is forgettable besides that. I don’t think this is a play would read in my own. And I don’t think I’ll read anything else by this author. It was fine, just dated and not my style.

It was very dark. There is a lot talked about in this book and none of it is happy. However, it was well written and I did enjoy it but I wouldn’t recommend to everyone.
