An Inspector Calls and Other Plays (Penguin Modern Classics)

Son not enjoying it as much as I did! Though he sees parallels with the Saw movies, so perhaps there is a gcse hiding in there somewhere.

Got this for my daughter since it was part of her curriculum, and it helped a lot!

Book arrived in good condition, the book itself is decent, was needed for academic purposes but still a decent read if you haven't

Seen the two TV adaptations. The original film and have the play on audio CD. But I have to say reading the book adds a depth I wasn`t expecting. Rich in language and prose a real treat to read. They just don`t write them like this anymore.

Came as described, slightly longer than I was expecting but that might have been my mistake.

I'm rereading all the books I've loved from my school days at the moment. This book is still studied in schools I think and I'm not surprised as there's so much discussion to come from it. A lot of questions you can ask yourself, about yourself and how you treat others. It's very apt in this modern day too which is why I think it's stood the test of time.An inspector arrives unannounced at a society house. A girl has committed suicide and he talks to the family one by one, but in the same claustrophobic room, to find out what happened to her and why. Oh when the story unravels and we see how each member of the family have secrets about this girl to spill, then this is like watching lambs to the slaughter. It will also make you think about yourself and how you interact in the world. Every action has consequences - seeing these characters interactions crash into each other, smack them in the face and then pull the rug from under the only one standing, it's delicious to see.That ending! I still remember how thrilled I was to write about this in my GSCE exam. I could waffle on about this for ages (which was good then as it got my word count up hehe)Recommended - (book, stage play, two TV adaptations) I've read and seen them all.

Firstly I was very disappointed at the price of this book - I suspect capitalising on the fact that it is a GCSE text as there is a captive market for it.This particular version has no notes whatsoever to help - not that I esentially needed them, but if this were being purchased by a student they should bear that in mind.I decided to take advantage of the offer of free Prime delivery for a month so signed up for it. I needed this book also asap as it is a text I am teaching a home tutored pupil and schools don't have the resources usually to supply a home tutor a text. I then waited ....and waited.... chased it on the "online tracking". This facility told me it had been despatched....arrived at Edinburgh - am not sure why there, and from there it was bouncing back. Eventually after emails to Amazon and phone calls (fruitless) to the shipper I decided to reorder the book. The reorder came as promised and beat the original order by a couple of days! All in all though this all took a week and meant I was reading and preparing for 4 hours well into the night to prepare for my pupil who had by this time missed a couple of lessons! I have to say the shipper blaming Amazon and more or less washing their hands of it did not go down well.

Above and beyond. This is the second copy, I've ordered for Year 11 and it's always been sent super quick and never has damage until I've used it, this one is to stay in my room rather than my school bag.

Buscaba desde hacía tiempo una de las obras de teatro de Priestley. La encontré en este libro, en Amazon. Me llegó más rápido de lo esperado y en perfecto estado, a un precio muy razonable. Excelente experiencia.

Excelente obra de teatro.Me hace recordar, siendo yo muy niño, la interpretación de Narciso Ibáñez Menta personificando al Inspector Goole.Ha sido una suerte encontrarle en editorial "Penguin" y no tenerla que comprar en U. K. con lo que eso encarece los gastos de transporte.Llegó la fecha prevista.
