Gosh, I just hated the commentary by Amiri Baraka in the front of the edition I borrowed from the library - I'm pretty sure it's the most obvious misreading of Shakespeare that I've come across.

I think the less said about the "Sidney Brunstein" play the better.

"...when you measure a man, take into consideration the hills and valleys he's had to come through to get to where he is today. When you measure a man, measure him right." part of my favorite speeches from Mama to Beneatha about Walter. This part always makes me cry!!

rly rly good

This play was verry dramatic. i couldnt get into it.

very good

A classic must read!!!

A Raisin in the Sun: 4 stars
The Sign in Sidney Brustein's Window: 2 Star

This book is great! The dialogue is outstanding and it has a great moral theme at the end. I really enjoyed this book and would probably read it again! I never got bored with it, and I always wanted to know what happens next. I would recommend this to anyone who is interested of the obstacles the families went through in the 1960's

TSISBW was a revelation!

Just read Raisin in the Sun, for class. Very interesting to not have a central character and to develop all of them equally—it highlights the struggle it takes for them to become unified in the end because they are all so different. Sad but hopeful.

SO glad I read this, LOVED IT, thanks Kirsten
