I just finished reading Drama!: Show Don’t Tell by Paul Rudtis. Like Broadway Lights it’s a book that I have tried yet failed to read before. Well, it wasn’t as bad as it seemed to be on my first try, but it wasn’t as good as it could be. The characters were funny, yes, but cliched. Marq annoyed me at times. His flamboyance is even more than Kurt Hummel on Glee, and Kurt is gay. The Renaissance Faire plot irritated me slightly as well, but this may be intentional, since the narrator, Bryan didn’t like either.
That was one of the good points of the book. Bryan was an easily likable character and his narration was funny. I even laughed out loud a couple times, which gets awkward once you’re in a silent classroom. All in all, it was an average book, not particularly mentionable, but not deserving a skip-over.
