5.0 out of 5 stars
One of the richest books that I have ever read!,
This review is from: Five Plays by Langston Hughes (Midland Books) (Hardcover)
First, I have to say that it is a shame that Langston Hughes is not a mandatory author in academia today. No more than 6 years ago, I was a student at a 4 yr. college, and I was given the choice of writing about a famous author, and I chose Langston Hughes. I was given this book by a friends daughter, and I have read it at least 3 times; I love it! Actually, I don't like reading plays, but I fell in love with these plays, and could even envision the characters, because the writing was so good. I recommend this for anyone older than 16 years of age.

This review is from: Five Plays by Langston Hughes (Midland Books) (Hardcover)
Words can't express how great I think this collection is. I'm so used to his poetry, but apparently Mr. Hughes was a great playright as well. I couldn't imagine anyone not enjoying this book. Have fun!
