I liked the book. I thought Antigone was an inspiring character who people can relate to easily. I think the tension found between Creon and Antigone can be found all around the world in people's relationships with their governments. I like how both Creon and Antigone were given consequences for their actions, and you could create a great argument for both parties. Overall, the book was very interesting, and a good read. However, I would have not read it as fast, unless it was mandatory for school.
