I really liked this play, though it is a play and in general I almost always think plays are best performed, so reading it can be slow. But outside of my personal hangups its probably a medium paced read. I did really enjoy the characters and how they changed. I think there's a lot to dig into this story if you want to. Especially with the names of the characters.

This is the first thing I've ever read by August Wilson and I really enjoyed it. Can't wait to dig into his other works (and the movies based off his works that are out there).
