A typical York Notes - By: Scampo, 23 Jun 2005 
Entirely worth buying if you are studying this superb play for A-level but so very typically York Notes! Rather restrained & not always as clear as it ought to be.
To quote Simon Cowell: 'Distinctly Average' - By: Alison B, 22 Feb 2002 I am currently studying this for AS English Lit & I find it quite boring. There is quite a lot of symbolism which is also interesting if you read about how Williams' characters are based on his family. The only other thing I like is the way the family are trapped,in every sense of the word. Apart from that, I find the entire play a little short & even though it reaches a conclusion, we never find out what happens to Amanda & Laura after Tom has left- only that their world is shattered like the glass unicorn Lura gave to Jim. If I were you I'd skip this one.
Short drama, kind of boring - By: direwolf33@aol.com, 02 May 2001 I read thisin my intro to literature class. I think it's a great intro to drama & to Arthur Miller, but not sure if I would consider it significant when compared to other works that I have studied since.
A stunning play...wot are the others on about?!!! - By: a_bogie_britz@yahoo.com, 28 Mar 2001 
...The number of levels included within the characters is incredible, as one is made to feel hope, pity AND frustration all at once with regard to Laurain Scene Seven. I do not see how anyonein their right mind could describe the characters as "2-d", when Williams has so accurately portrayed the complexity & fragile beauty of the human spirit. I am also an A-level student & I can only compel my fellow reviewers to study this MASTERFUL, human drama more closely, before they sit the exams. This truly is one of the GREATS of modern drama!
Glass Menagerie, lifeless?! - By: , 13 Feb 2001 If this book had not been set for my course I would not have finished it as it not captivate me enough to keep me interested. The characters seemed flat & I could not imagine themin person as they would be 2D!! The only character which I could relate any life-like characteristics to was Tom. The play was not all bad though as the general framework of it appealed to me it was just the detail inside which put me off.
