This book just really isn’t my cup of tea. It took a lot of willpower to finish it. The saving grace was phenomenal voice acting, but otherwise it was delirious and I didn’t get anything out of it.

Absolute masterpiece. Is perhaps one of the best fictional characters (along with Belize) and Louis is one of the worst.

The Great Question before us is: 
Are we doomed? The Great Question before us is: Will the Past release us? 
The Great Question before us is: Can we Change? In Time? And we all desire that Change will come.

I saw this on Broadway two years ago today, and when I heard my brother had read it in class, I got so excited... he leant me his copy to read and I am so glad I did. Such a beautiful and powerful play, that I am lucky to have seen live and read.
