Review: A must-read classic - Waiting for Godot (originally published in French as En Attendant Godot) is a great book. Although Waiting for Godot isn't the greatest book of all time, it should be read by every serious reader. I am a bit biased. Here's why: During my junior year of college, our French department held an artistic competition. My instructor in intermediate French (I was a history major) encouraged me and a classmate to do a scene from the book (in French, of course!). We probably did the first third of Act II. Anyway, I happened to be Vladimir, so I would open our skit with the song (the start of Act II). My classmate and I took the assignment seriously. We memorized our lines, and I came up with a simple melody for the song. My recollection is that we were a hit and landed first prize in the competition (ahead of all the participating French majors!). First prize was a nice art book. That was many years ago. I don't remember my classmate's name or my instructor's name. However, I do remember the words to the song (in French) as well as the melody.
Review: This introspective work stands the test of time - Because I watched performances by dancers that made me think of this play, I re-read it for the first time since high school. By the end of the work, I felt a sense of hollowness because it makes me think of the question of how much time do we waste thinking that we are in action but yet that actually never takes us anywhere? I feel like this is an ultimate question that much of humanity could easily ask and ponder. After re-reading this work as an adult, I have a greater appreciation for the theater of the absurd. I don’t think I fully understood that genre of work when I was a teenager. I highly recommend this work if you are a person who is interested in thinking about how the individual perception of spirituality, time and identity impact life.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A masterpiece
*by B***N on March 17, 2015*

When I first decided to read "waiting for Godot", I did so with some trepidation. I had heard of the play before, of course, usually as a byword for the absurd, the highbrow- even the pretentious. I expected to struggle with a complex, long-winded text. Nothing could be further from the truth. "Waiting for Godot" flows with a smooth rhythm that borders on the hypnotic. Though surrealistic to the extreme, the apparent lack of purpose does nothing to dampen the quick wit and easy dialogue. The characters, such as they are, display more emotion in the simple actions and with the minimalistic props than you will find in many long novels. I am sure it is a gold mine for students of the modern drama. But it is also one of those rare classics that has as much to offer the casual reader as the dedicated scholar.
