General Comments
I loved this book, it was emotional, gripping and i couldn't put it down. The book was recommended to be by a friend, and now I'm going to watch the play in Stratford! The book shows a good example of honesty and breaks the whole 'happily ever after' rule. The book is very well written, and shows the reader how two people can experience an event so differently. This is one of the only books that I actually could picture the character and feel their emotions. The book helped me realise how much certain races, and/or people have had to overcome to be treated equally in an average society. The book is a prime example of how prejudice, love, hate, delusion, and anger can all be entangled to create such dramatic events, which can affect so many people. I would certainly recommend this book to anyone.
