5/10
I finished reading this about two weeks ago. Didn't love it. Our Town is supposed to be legendary, but it seemed just ok. It was creatively presented I suppose, but I could imagine being pretty bored if I had to sit through this play. But I probably would have loved it if I watched it in 1938 and was easily entertained. I would give Our Town 6/10.
The Skin of Our Teeth was one of the worst things I've ever read. Apparently people think this is really good too? Honestly cannot fathom how that is possible. So nonsensical and useless. Not going to waste any more time on it henceforth and forever. One of the easiest 1/10's of all time.
The Matchmaker was the most enjoyable; it was at least a little bit entertaining. It had some nice plot-weaving moments and had some fun characters. I guess this is where Hello, Dolly comes from. This was a nice one to finish the book off on. I would give it a 7/10. It also has this great quote: "Marriage is a bribe to make a housekeeper think she's a householder."
