I'll preface my review by saying that it was one of the required readings for an English literature class the spring semester of my senior year. Initially, I was pleasantly surprised to be assigned a short two act play rather than a tome, but that changed once I got to act two.

I came to class irritated that I had essentially read act one twice, which felt like a waste of time. Now that I'm older, I understand that the play is about the liminal space that Didi and Gogo find themselves in and how many possibilities they can explore about what could happen when Godot finally arrives. Thus, Godot's arrival would eliminate all but one of these possibilities and would naturally be disappointing.

I suppose I'm glad that I read it since Godot is referenced occasionally in other media, but the experience of reading the play was so frustrating that an honest rating from me has to be low.
