I was blown away at how simple the story is, but it has so much to say. On getting to my Senior year I had a different English teacher who had never even heard of Thornton Wilder. I told him that he had to read this book, so when I graduated I gave him my copy. (  ) katy89williams | Jan 3, 2010 |  short, profound, and seems to say everything. (  ) jphilbrick | Dec 3, 2009 | I don't understand Wilder's point. We miss the little things? Phooey! (  )1  mcandre | Nov 1, 2009 | I have to admit, I've never actually read it... I saw it performed (by East Union, I know, terrible) and I just loved it... I would like to read it, then perhaps the message would have impacted me even more. But just the simplicity of the story was striking, to me... It was profound even without serious studying. (  ) laudemgloriae | Sep 2, 2009 | I remember seeing Thornton Wilder's play acted out on stage many years ago. It's a very easy-to-read text which all of a sudden surprises you with some really profound ideas. Ordinary life is actually quite extraordinary - a worthwhile read.
