Summary of this Book...
Shaw does a fantastic job of describing a young girl's dedication to a higher calling and her willingness to give her life for what she believes in. Though she does waver in her youth by signing a false confession, at discovering an eternity in prison she tairs up the confession and elects to be burned. A terrific tale of compassion and love.
This type of Book is good for...
Great for understanding martyrdom and hope.
I especially liked...
The depiction of Joan in real life as a young girl, but still sghe hears the calling of God and is willing to answer the call and do God's will.
I didn't like...
I thought that Shaw would have done better to produce this in prose rather than as a play, I bet though it is a powerful play to see live.
When I finished reading this Book I wanted to...
DO more backround research on Saint Joan to see how accurate the play was.
This Book made me feel...
That with the help of God anything is possible.
The author of this Book...
Bernard Shaw
I recommend this Book because...
It is a terrific source of hope.
I don't recommend this Book because...
Read this play.
Further Comments...
Not the greatest play I have ever read, and it is a quick read and well worth the time invested.
