Ten příběh mi sedl, moje kafe, ale ten jazyk pro mě bylo občas těžké překousat. 3,5*

as gross as it is to think about the truth that was revealed...still intense and dramatic!

Oedipus voice: D:

3.8⭐

Don't like the old English
Good suspense, good plot, good pace, good length

Read for school

Well.. Everyone knows the story of Oedipus Rex right? So.. I won't go into detail about that, but what I will say is this: Read it. Don't question my judgement. Just. Read. It.
Why?
IT'S OEDIPUS REX!?
We have the greek gods
We have a boy who, get this, SLEEPS WITH HIS MOTHER
WE EVEN HAVE PSYCHOLOGICAL COMPLEX NAMED AFTER THE MAIN-CHARACTER
If you still haven't picked it up, and started reading, you should be punished.
Just read it.
Now.
Thanks.

I enjoyed this. It was an entertaining read with a fast paced plot. Makes you frustrated at the unfairness of situations and question the role of fate in your lives.

I'm not the biggest fan of plays, but this one drew me in and spat me out astonished at what occurred.
