loved despite having to read for O level,
By
This review is from: An Inspector Calls (Heinemann Plays For 14-16+) (Hardcover)
I first read this play for my O levels many years ago and was immediately hooked. The story is about a family who have all separately affected another person's life through their own selfishness - there's a moral to the story but it is a very entertaining play to read (and watch if you get the chance - there's also a film - black and white but very good) the play has a great twist that leaves you wondering...

Relevent Then, Relevent Now,
By Phoenix (Henley-On-Thames, Oxon, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: An Inspector Calls (Heinemann Plays For 14-16+) (Hardcover)
I think that An Inspector calls is an esential book to read.When J.B Priestly wrote the play in the 1940's, it made a big point a bout class, and although those barriers are alot more faded and fallen than they were, they haven't completely dissapated, making this play still relevent today. It is one of the set texts for at least one GCSE examining boards, so many will be studying it for their GCSE's. To those the reason to buy your own copy is obvious, school don't yell if you lose it, annotating is perfectly allowed, and the book is usually in a better state. The play itself, is very brilliant, very dramatic, exciting and intiguing (yeah, I know I can't spell). I won't give everything away (that would be very mean...)but as every character reveals their story, it links into the others, and makes you want to hear the rest. When you have heard all the stories, you can't blame the girl for killing herself.
