Book Reviews of The Crucible
Book Review: Deeply Moving
Summary: 5 Stars
This play draws you in from the beggining, each character begging for your attention and pity. But as you watch the characters and the story unfold, you are forced to pick sides. The confused and manipulated girls can make you burn with anger and feel great sorrow for their entrapment. The adulterous husband first hits you as a cold, unloving man but soon woos you into seeing his honest and passionate character. Arthur Miller masterfully sends his reader on an emotionally journey through his chilling rendition of the sad affair of the Salem witch trials. Beautiful work, very worthy of your time.Book Review: Courtesy of Mother Daughter Book Club.com
Summary: 5 Stars
The Crucible by Arthur Miller is a great book to read with a mother-daughter book club. It provides an outlet to talk about issues the girls are covering in school, and to find out about how their perspectives differ from those of their moms. The issues of witchcraft and socially sanctioned violence against a targeted group seem eerily relevant to some of the things going on in our world today. This book challenged all of us to think about the most important things in our lives and what we're willing to sacrifice to achieve a higher cause.Book Review: Interesting read
Summary: 5 Stars
Book arrived in excellent condition. It is pretty amazing to read and realize that extramarital affairs actually went on way back then. Today of course, you don't hang for it, you just get taken to the cleaners if you are caught. Very interesting and a good read.Book Review: moving and thought-provoking

I really enjoyed reading this classic tale. I found it interesting from an historical and literary point of view. It forces you to think about very real moral dilemmas, like what you might or might not give your life for.Book Review: The Crucible
