All My Sons

By: Arthur Miller

Reviewed by: , age 17

Rating: Really liked it
This controversial book was written during the war, but published afterward. It dealt with the corruption and manipulation of businesses at the time. The story was about an owner of a weapons manufacturing plant, and how he had lied about selling broken parts to the army responsible for the death of 21 soldiers. As a result, he accused his partner of selling those broken cylinder heads for the airplanes. One of the owners son's was to marry the girl of the assistant. However, since he was MIA for a few years, his brother proposes to the girl. The issue in the story is between the families and how the wrongly accused business partners son wants to stop the marriage to a tainted family. Overall, it is an interesting book. It was very nice and effective in conveying its message.

I would recommend this to: Ages 13 and up
