Simply Wonderful - By: Rob, 21 May 2006
I am doing this text for part of my AS Level & it is a great text, it is simple to read but at the same time has clever little comments that you could easily miss which are symbolic & very telling. Shame there does not seem to be any available copies of either of the two versions that I know have been made - Amazon please try & stock one of these items, it would certainly be appreciated by many AS Level students who have not seen a dramatised version, after alll this is a play & not book. However, the play is a real marvel & is well worth a read.
You must read this book!!! - By: , 09 Feb 2006
I am currently studying ‘All My Sons’ for my English Literature AS level & I think it was a good decision for my teacher to make us study this.

At first I found the play a bit slow, but half way through Act One I found myself engrossed by the emotional characters & dramatic storyline beginning to unfold. I couldn’t put it down! Arthur Miller truly is a brilliant & talented playwright. ‘All My Sons’ is in my opinion one of his best works. I am eager to see a dramatised version!


Awesome Play - By: , 28 Aug 2001
What goes around comes around in this beautifully crafted emotional ride. The play centres on greed & guilt but has a complex outer web of haunting & chilling events. The thunderous conclusion is a brutal reminder of the frailty of life.
Do unto others as you'd have done unto yourself - By: , 24 Aug 2001
This epic play shows us that we will pay for our actions in the end. The brilliant webs woven by Miller keep the reader's mind racing from one character to the next throughout. As the play progresses we learn about the guilt & hauntings of each individual - from the obvious to the subtle. Slowly & with drastic emotion, these webs falll apart & the frightening skeletons are revealed. The brutal end is a thunderous warning to us alll.
Patriachal drama about the problems of the American Dream - By: , 23 Apr 2001
'All my Sons' deals profoundly with the 'male' & the need to live up to American ideologies. The idea of the American Dream is reallly what motivates the action in the play.The protgonists are faced with an unclear distinction between material things & being loved by their family. The play contains the revelation of some explosive secrets that lead to upsetting family situations. The play at it's best is extremely observant, familiar & focuses on the problems that are caused from trying to live up to societys' expectations.Leaves you asking many questions but moving & captivating....
