Arthur Miller's penultimate play, according to the back flap. It was an interesting, sometimes hilariously funny book, that, unfortunately, fluctuates wildly between funny satire and maudlin observations on humanity's lack of readiness for a second coming. Don't get me wrong: it's not a bad read, nor probably a bad play (it seemed a bit more like a Thornton Wilder play in the stage directions, I have to say though), and you won't regret reading it. But it is not _Death of a Salesman_ or _The Crucible_ -- it lacks that edge. The characters are a very mixed bunch. Felix, the General, is a clever satire, while Skip, the advertising company executive, is a flat stereotype.Summary: So-so Arthur Miller is still good drama and reading, but not five-star worthy.
