Book Review Twelve Angry Men (Rose)
Have I read this before: Yes! We read this out loud in…I want to say it was eighth grade English class. Both my eighth grade and eleventh grade English classes involved reading a lot of plays out loud; I wish my other English classes did that as well. Doing so always made the plays feel more alive and memorable. I remember I read the part of the “Foreman.”
Review: This was as good as I remember it being; maybe even better. I like how the slow chipping away at the evidence that seemed to initially point overwhelmingly towards a “guilty” verdict changes more and more of the jurors’ minds, but that not every mind is truly changed at the end.
Favorite Part: The “now you don’t really mean you were going to kill me, did you?” Line from Juror 8 to Juror 3.
Rating: 7/10
