'No Exit' was easily the best play I have ever read and it totally blew me away. It was engaging, thought-provoking and truthful. I am not much of a reader and am easily bored, but this play was nothing short of brilliant. The characters are so real, so human, and the messages expressed in this play will speak volumes to ANYONE who lives. Pick it up and read it, you won't regret it!

This collection of plays is very good, and not just for the title piece. "No Exit," of course, is a famous work no one interested in existentialism is unfamiliar with. It is thought-provoking and interesting. "The Flies" communicates many of Sartre's ideas very well, particularly in the dialogue between Orestes and Zeus. The other two plays are also interesting and very effective.

I picked this book up and read it, on a whim, and suddenly realized that I was entranced and couldn't put it down! I was hypnotized by No Exit (Huis Clos), and was thrilled and jarred by it. After I finished it, it really affected me. It is an unforgettable play! Each of the characters were so complex, and so real. The structure was infinitely ingenious, and infused with a brilliance that only Sartre could give. Usually, I don't like existentialism, but this is one play that no one should pass up. After I read it, I have been talking about it to all of my friends, raving and ranting, because it insuperable good. A great read, if you want to be transported to another world.

Stuck on an island with no one else to torment you. One could draw great comfort from Jean Paul Sartr's No-Exit. Sitting on your island you can contemplate the validity of the famous quote "Hell is other people."Great reading and great fun from the master of existentialism.
