this was a great story. I liked the way Chekhov gave a sentimental value to the cherry orchard and the estate but at the same time showing how when its time for new things to come you cant stop them. the personalities of the characters were very real and entertaining and you really felt that you almost knew these people. It started out slow (for me) but as i read on to act two the story started to sharpen up and i got into it.
