I enjoy the experience of the LA Theatre Works productions, but this particular play just wasn't my cup of tea.

This was, quite simply put, boring and unnecessary. I feel incredibly sorry for all Year 12 students who have to read and study this. I read this so I could give advice to students and I really wish I hadn't. The characters are insufferable, the plot serves no purpose, and the author did nothing to make me care. Speaking of, I cannot believe a woman wrote this, like why would she represent women so poorly in this.

I liked the audiobook of this because it's always nice when you get all different voices.  However, it's not my favourite story that I've read.  It has an interesting message, and I liked how messy the drama of it was.

None of the characters are likeable and the ethical discussion is so wishy-washy that the contention of the text is very unclear
