4.0

I had to read this book for my AP Composition and Writing class and in all honesty, it wasn't bad. Since the author wrote this in the time of McCarthyism, there were a lot of real-world connections that could be made throughout the story. I think that this book was also very interesting for a bunch of teens due to there being drama and the humor of everyone being accused of being a witch was amusing to us (Lots of Monty Python jokes were made while reading this book). I would definitely recommend this book to any teacher who is deciding what to have their students read, and in my opinion, I think this play is good enough to read for pleasure as well.
