Please, do regale me with your rich definitions and examples of irony, perhaps, just to keep us on our toes, harvested from the painfully unsubtle An Inspector Calls?

I'd rather not. As previously stated, I hate An Inspector Calls, with a vengeance.

I have painful memories of An Inspector Calls after being seated next my teacher at a performance at a local theatre, and them insisting on scoffing half my sweets.

Outrageous times...

I liked alastair sim's portrayal of t'inspector in the film. He was mental. Eyes of a killer.

It's dull. Two words which sums it up perfectly.

I may enjoy it more if I didn't have to read about ten-to-fifteen pages, then make a mind-map or take notes. I much prefer reading like that, and I also learn it better through that method.

I'd sooner read Dickens' (Great Expectations, Oliver Twist, A Chistmas Carol, whichever). It is more believeable, as it paints a bleak picture of life. It is also very descriptive, too.

Different people have different opinions. I can see your point, kraM, though. Parts of it, especially Birling's "advice" to Eric and Gerald, are interesting to read.

That part is all, really. The rest does bore me.

Not being funny, but I think this is a symptom of people (Malpass) of this age. Their knee jerk reaction is to say it's "dull" which often it can be when you're picking something apart at great length in the name of education. A few years later, you tend to re-read books and appreciate them for what they are.

Indeed. Having known some members of this and TVF 'virtually' for several years, I'm sure most of us can cringe at some of the ideas we had and posted at a younger age.

Of course not!

I regret nothing.
