The original script for this movie is a powerful one with an incredible amount of symbolism and thematic devices. It tells a powerful story about a family and the desire to make something for ones family as well as trying to reach this dream when it seems that the world is against you. I had to read it for a class and regret nothing.

This story about the Youngers trying to make a better life for themselves is absolutely captivating. I know I've read it before, but it is so heartwarming I had to go back for a second look. I would highly recommend it.

I listened to book on CD, which actually was the recording of a liver performance. I recommend listening to this version versus reading. The characters personalities are much more apparent this way.

In part, it's a sad story. On the other hand, it offers a glimpse into the everyday lives of what could be some realy life people - not just fictional ones.

It's short - I recommend it.

Wonderful play!

Would not have picked this story up on my own, but since my son in HS was reading it, I did. It was well worth the read!

Very powerful play! Walter's epiphany is memorable.

It was a good read, however I did not relate much to the characters but understood their motives. That's what makes a good book.

I loved this play. It captures the African-American struggle to achieve around the civil rights era. There were some funny scenes, which kept me into the play. Hansberry is a talented playwright.

I immediately loved this play when I read it in highschool. Its definitely a must read.

It was ok; nothing we haven't read about or heard before. It is depressing and frustrating but it IS every day life for many.

I think I had to read this play one too many times in both high school and college!
