This past semester, I enrolled in an American Literature course. I really enjoyed the books we were required to read and, since I review books that I read on Goodreads, I decided I would do one here as well. I like more... friendly, laid-back? Here we go!

Summary from Goodsreads:
Blanche DuBois arrives at her sister Stella's New Orleans apartment seeking refuge from a troubled past but her ethereal spirit irks Stella's husband, the loutish Stanley Kowalski. Crudely, relentlessly, he unmasks the lies and delusions that sustain Blanche, until her frail hold on reality is shockingly severed.
A Streetcar Named Desire was written by Tennessee Williams in the 1940s. It's a play that became very popular, both on stage and in the theatres.

| Marlon Brando, circa 1951 anybody?? |
Even so, though I really enjoyed this play. The characters are so intricate, even if you have to dig a lot bit. While reading, I felt like I could relate to the issues some characters faced - sympathy and empathy. Can we say love triangle, but not really? It's got a twist, but I won't spoil it for you! If you enjoy classics, I highly recommend this to you!
Rating: 4/5 - Worth the read.
Tip to self: Watch the movie!
