Book Reviews of The Book of Liz - Acting Edition
Book Review: Better onstage? (potential spoiler)
Summary: 3 Stars
From the moment you know the main character is a sweaty nun (well, sort of) who makes unique cheeseballs, well, come on! What do *YOU* think is gonna happen?There are some Sedaresque observational turns that are worthwhile: AA members staffing an IHOP equivalent, an all-too-short interlude with a Mr. Peanut-wearing couple from Eastern Europe...
Perhaps onstage, with the aid of a talented comic to interlace these tidbits with some kind of physical running gag, well, it would all be worth it.
But I guess it really isn't.
Book Review: Gift
Summary: 5 Stars
The delivery was quick. This was something my daughter had on her Christmas list. She was very happy I was able to get it and read it the next day. Thank You!Book Review: Good, but not David.
Summary: 3 Stars
This book is small, don't be fooled. It is way shorter than I expected, it is ONE short story, that's it. It has some funny moments but does not create the same sparks that David Sedaris creates in his text.
Book Review: Great Play
Summary: 4 Stars
I saw the play in San Francisco a few years ago. It was very funny. The bit about the AA members running the restaurant is very tongue in cheek.Book Review: I waited a year for this?
Summary: 2 Stars
Yup. I preordered this over a year ago, just to finally get a cheaply made short, short play. It's not even that funny. Oh, David and Amy, please release another book! Your'e too good for this!
