teebles 's review for:

DNA (School Edition) by Dennis Kelly
4.0

Had to read this for drama class in school. Thought that it was okay. I felt that the characters were very different and were all quite interesting, although were not developed very well (probably because the play itself was so short).

When I got to part three, I felt that it was really starting to get good and interesting, but then it ended like 10 pages later? It was such an abrupt ending and I was more than a little confused as to why the author chose to end it at the point that he did. I feel that even if the story were a little bit longer, I would have given it a higher rating. I just feel that the ending was a bit rushed and nothing was really resolved. It feels like there were more pages that I just didn't have in my copy as the ending wasn't really resolving anything and I had lots of questions. (Which I guess could be a good thing if this were like a series, but it is just a standalone.

Spoiler I totally called the bit about Adam from the start. When his friends were like, "Oh, he died because he fell in a hole" I was just like 'What?' Maybe you should check that he's actually dead and not just unconscious or something. SO, when he came back into the story, I was not at all surprised.


I was also hoping to see more of an interaction between John-Tate and Richard as it seemed that they had a rivalry and I would have liked to see it develop further.
