great book if you're in the mood to think really hard. willy, a bad salesman, goes through a lot with his own infidelity and flashbacks to his brother ben who was having more fun than him in africa. really good thinking stuff

Meh

Seminal American Play of the reality behind the "American Dream". While it's themes are still relevant today, it's a bit too dramatized for my liking, maybe down to the fact that I'm not American and the dialogue seems unrealistic to me!
