5.0 out of 5 stars I loved this book, October 21, 1999

By A Customer

In my theatre class my teacher had us memorize one of the characters. They were easy to memorize and they were about real teen issues.

2.0 out of 5 stars Speeches Not Monologues, November 14, 2000

By A Customer

The problem with this book is that the monologues sound like students getting up in front of class and giving a report that was assigned to them. They don't sound like monologues where there is a strong need to affect another person and try to get a response from them immediately. The topics are good, but they don't sound natural. They're too speechy, like you're saying them to the world for no reason.
