The acting was outstanding. Some scenes were hard to listen to. And the production was excellent. I knew where we were and what was happening at all times, which is often not the case for me with productions heavy in music and sound effects. However, the delivery of the story felt rushed. I felt as if part of the characters' development was just skipped and this made it harder for me to care about them.

haiqanoor's review against another edition

it’s so boring, all the main character does is complain and be a misogynist -

the only mildly interesting thing he did was was write in that book and then he went straight back to having beef with some kids

- i don’t remember the guy’s name and orwell is a snitch so
