Fun Read,
By Jessica (Monterey Park, CA United States) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Pygmalion and My Fair Lady (Signet Classics) (Paperback)
This light comedy had me laughing all the time. It was a fun read and the characters were entertaining.
I'm a bit confused about "My Fair Lady"'s ending though. *SPOILER* At the end when Eliza returns to the professor, he doesn't run to her and show his happiness and instead tells her to fetch his slippers. Then it said that Eliza understood and had tears in her eyes. Does that mean that even though they love each other, they won't be together because of their social classes and/or other problems like Prof. Higgen's personality?

My Fair Lady,
This review is from: Pygmalion and My Fair Lady (Paperback)
This is an amazing story. It has a great heart and humor, and you love the characters, despite their faults. Eliza and Professor Higgins are both terrific. This is definatly worth reading.
