    <body><![CDATA[The concept of the descent of the American Dream in this book is poignant, from afar.  While reading it, I didn't feel anything towards any of the characters, but after I finished it I was looking at all the plot intricacies and this intellectual exercise is what made me enjoy the play.

    <body><![CDATA[Having somehow missed this play in my life as a reader, I mostly felt only disappointment in what is deemed to be one of the great American classics.
