A very tragic critique of the hollow promise known as The American Dream, and a showcase of a system that promises everything but often delivers nothing.

Frustrating but excellent

I AM NOT A LEADER OF MEN. I AM WILLY LOMAN.

I like books that explain somebody's whole life in so few words. Willy was not able to bear real life: he's put too many expectations upon himself and his sons, and none of them could fulfill them.

Heartbreaking and depressing, Miller shows us the brutal cost of chasing the American Dream.

I loved this. By far my fav play I read this year. This should be a mandatory reading for everyone. Brutal and depressing account of the realities of working and trying to survive in America as a sales man.
