It's a very quick read, but I didn't get into it like I should have. I did feel something for the characters obviously because I was sad at the end. Maybe it's for a different demographic, but it's not for me.

I learned so much while reading this book. It made me a little scared for the future of arts. I admire the courage Jane Alexander had to take on such a huge responsibility. She truly is a force to reckon with. She has such style and grace - I believe that's why she was so wonderful at her job.

I enjoyed this book tremendously. I liked hearing the story from the son's point of view. I loved the character development. Everyone had a clear story and objective. The story has so many layers that all inter-twine, just like the lives we live. This is the best Jane Hamilton book I've read.

I tried. I gave it till chapter 20, then I closed it up for good. I was very excited to read this, but I began to dread each turning page. I've read other books by Robert Nye and assumed I would enjoy this one too. I couldn't "get into" the whole realm of make believe. I found myself rolling my eyes at parts that should've been humorous. Sorry, but it wasn't for me.

Since "The Canterbury Tales" can be rather daunting for the student, I think this is an exceptional way to garner more of the needed information. The definitions are to the point, and the summaries aren't lengthy and over-bearing. If this is something to be read in the classroom, I see no reason why this shouldn't accompany the text.

I enjoy the translation. I think it's ideal for the classroom. I can appreciate the tales that are streamlined for ease. It's very easy to follow.

I enjoy her sense of humour and always have. It's along the same vein as her stand-up. So, if her style and content aren't for you then chances are pretty good you won't enjoy this book. However, if you're a fan of Ellen then I think you'll find yourself laughing outloud, just like I did.

I wasn't sure about some of the humour - if that's what it was. I enjoyed the beginning more than the end. I got a little confused with the ending - was it to shock or humour me? i did enjoy the little "inside jokes", but that's about it.

This book is set up oddly. It's fictitious letters between the author and the dead Sarah Bernhardt. I found that to be a bit strange - especially when they would argue back and forth in their letters to one another, and then apologize. Other than that, you do learn some bio information on Sarah Bernhardt - not as much as I would've liked. There are some pictures, and it is a very quick read.

At the beginning of my copy it gave William Inge's response to some of the criticism he was receiving about this play. Namely the violence. I read it, and proceeded to dive into the play - all the while searching for the violence. Boom! It hits you full force! I loved the shock of it! I want to see this on stage or on the screen. This is one my favortie Inge pieces.
