I read it last year for American Lit. I enjoyed it.
 What part are you at thus far? I'd want to state my views on it, but I don't want to give anything away.  Meh. In my class, it was about 50-50 when the teacher asked if we enjoyed it or not.

We're a little past where Abigal tells Proctor that she still loves him and that he loves her. |

There is such a history behind that book. About Arthurt Miller and Marilyn and oh my goodness why must these people have so much drama?
Anywho, we're reading that as well. It looks good so far, the commentaries get kind of annoying, but I really want to see the play itself. |

We're reading it too. We're listening to it on tape and reading the book and just..there is so much screaming on the tape. They get serious drama.
Arthur Miller must have been a fascinating person. |

I saw the movie on HBO? And I read the Cliff Notes. We had to read the Cliff Notes for a project so yea. I enjoyed it alot. I think I should read the whole thing soon since we aren't going to read it for English class.
 Its good though. |

Ok, it wasn't that bad, it's just that Winona Ryder gives me the ticks when I watch anything she's in (other than BeetleJuice and Heathers).

His work stands for so much more than I imagined. I've read The Cruible twice during high school. I personally enjoy it. |

I read it last month for English class and I liked it.
But I don't like the movie because it's not enough suspense. |

I read it last year... the book was decent, but the movie was really boring. And the ending was sfijer8u8yshgriuy.

QUOTE(sofakinglazy @ Nov 4 2006, 10:16 PM) John Proctor dies.  We finished it quite a few weeks ago, but I liked the book. I actually like the movie, it's one of the better book adaptations out there, imo. Has anyone seen the The Front with Woody Allen? It's actually an homage to The Crucible, and it's kinda funny too.
