my opinion
this is a great piece of art by arthur miller. he catches your attention with the lies and injustices of the 1600's. this is a good book because of it's content. the speech is, as it was in that time. it tells a tale of a little girl who gets caught being "naughty" and blames it on the circumstances of those she doesn't like or has problems with. this book teaches that to lie about ...

BORDERS, 1992

bad
horrible recording. Not only is the reader nearly always monotone, his different voices vary in volume so much that I constantly had to keep adjusting the volume.
