Most people when forced to read at GCSE have a hateful time. I never really minded and I loved having this as a topic. I don’t think would’ve got a 9 in my exams if I wasn’t fuelled by the content and the way Priestly writes. A huge fan of his other work too. So much to take away from it, especially his take on political ideology, that I fear will be relevant for a long time. So much to say but I shan’t write a whole essay. This means a lot to me :) and I leave it at that.

Really like the play.
I thought it would be boring as I had to read it for school but I loved it!

This little play left me quite cold unfortunately. Priestley's toying around with the reader's expectation (expecting some sort of detective play) was clever but the plot was quite predictable (even the part that exceeds all real plausability). The critic of the British society and capitalistic industrialization was a bit too on the nose for me and could have used a bit of subtlety.
