desertcart.com: Twelve Angry Men (Penguin Classics): 9780143104407: Rose, Reginald, Mamet, David: Books

Review: A Timeless Masterpiece of Drama and Humanity! - I recently picked up Twelve Angry Men in the Penguin Classics edition, and I was absolutely blown away by its brilliance. This isn’t just a play—it’s a gripping exploration of justice, doubt, and human nature that feels as relevant today as it did when it was first written. If you love thought-provoking stories that pack a punch in under 100 pages, this is an absolute must-read. Pros: • Riveting Dialogue: The entire play unfolds in real-time in a single jury room, and every line crackles with tension. Rose’s writing is sharp and concise, pulling you into the minds of twelve very different men as they debate a life-or-death verdict. • Complex Characters: Despite having no names—just juror numbers—each character leaps off the page with distinct personalities. From the steadfast Juror 8 to the volatile Juror 3, you feel their emotions and biases in every word. • Powerful Themes: It’s a masterclass in questioning certainty and standing up for what’s right, even when it’s unpopular. The way it tackles prejudice, reason, and moral courage is both subtle and profound. • Perfect Length: Clocking in at around 70 pages, it’s short enough to read in one sitting but leaves you thinking for days. The Penguin Classics edition adds a sleek, durable format that’s great for revisiting. • Universal Appeal: Whether you’re into theater, law, psychology, or just a good story, this play hooks you. I’ve already recommended it to friends who don’t usually read plays—they loved it too! Cons: • Stage Directions Can Feel Dry: If you’re not used to reading plays, the sparse descriptions might take a moment to adjust to. It’s written for performance, so you have to imagine the action yourself. • Limited Setting: The single-room setting is part of its genius, but if you crave variety in scenery or pacing, it might feel claustrophobic—though that’s intentional. • Dated Context in Spots: Written in the 1950s, some social attitudes (like the all-male jury) reflect that era. It’s a minor quibble, since the core message transcends time. Twelve Angry Men is a flawless blend of suspense and substance—an unforgettable read that proves great storytelling doesn’t need flash to hit hard. This Penguin Classics edition is a gem I’ll keep on my shelf forever. Five stars, no deliberation needed!
Review: Twelve Angry Men - Excellent short book/play. Facts vs feelings vs prejudices vs lack of empathy. These and many other factors involved in how a jury determines whether the Defendant should live. Jury duty is not easy, but should be fair. Prejudices, self-interests should not be involved in decision -making.

*by B***Y on June 15, 2025*

I’d been meaning to get around to this play and I’m glad I finally did. Great commentary on the importance of taking once’s civic duty seriously, and how our preconceived notions can affect who we’re willing to believe or disbelieve.
