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.

This play is a thoroughly enjoyable read. It’s dark and twisted but it’s so well written. I enjoyed Williams style and i’m glad to be studying it for A-Level and it’s definitely my favourite out of the texts that I do.

I was surprised by how much I ended up loving this play. It's a really interesting character study about the effects of racism and class (among other things) on America that has me constantly returning to spot more details - symbolism, foreshadowing, and so so much double-speak - that I hadn't realized the first time I read it, so my copy is steadily being filled with notes and highlights each time I revisit it.
