An Inspector Calls offers some interesting social commentary and a message of accepting responsibility and considering consequences of your actions, not only for yourself but for others too. The characters are well-developed with distinct personalities, which is quite impressive for such a short book.
That said, I re-read this book earlier this year and it wasn't as good as I remember. That's not to say it's bad – I did still enjoy it – I just didn't have the same reaction I had the first time round. I've seen the play performed on stage as well, which in my opinion was better than just reading the script.
