Arthur Miller, Death of a Salesman (Penguin Modern Classics) Review

Overall Rating

I should imagine that in it's day it would have been very forward thinking novel. The tensions between Biff and Willy near the end were excellent and they revealed the flaws of modern life and the other characters excellently.

No major bad points, only that written as a play I found the explaining of the stage functions, interrupted the flow sometimes and also it had dated but that is no fault of the author, the message still resonates today.

I 'm very glad I took the time to read it but as for being in the all time classics at number 2 in the chart I am trying to complete, I do not think that it should be placed so highly. Of course that is all down to the readers own personal choice.
