I actually liked a book school made me read? Wild, I know. But despite the sexism and the raging historical inaccuracies, it was fun to read. Maybe it was made more enjoyable by the fact that I got to watch my classmates read it out loud in horror and shame. The best thing you can do is make a bunch of high schoolers read out the lines of a horned up 17th-century character lol.

This was the best book I have ever read in school. I love how I was actually interested in what was going on in the story. I would highly recommend as a book to read; especially in class.

Everything about the Crucible feels off, wrong, and shady. Not necessarily bad, but on the verge of an eerie, uncanny feeling. Lots of unlikable characters.
