I never got to see this play live. This is the next best thing. I'm very glad I purchased this title. The story is compelling and very well written. I've read plays before, but this stars the original Tony award winning cast. Great way to spend 3 hours. Listening to a little bit of culture.

Almost as good as being there...

This emotional interplay of family relationships and the role of grace and forgiveness kept me on the edge of my seat throughout the performance.

Is there anything you would change about this book?

No.

Has August: Osage County turned you off from other books in this genre?

No. I have no idea what the play was meant to be about or what the point was.

Which scene was your favorite?

I can safely say there's not one part of that play that I ever need to hear again.

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

It is a movie and I plan to never see it. I just didn't get it..

Any additional comments?

This was a beautifully performed play about a lot of miserable people getting together to make each other more miserable which, in turn, may me miserable listening to it. I stuck it out thinking that there would be some point to all this misery. If there was one, I missed it altogether.

I never need to hear this again!

This is a gripping story of real world, real family dynamics enhanced by the ensemble cast format. The story encompasses circumstances that most of us who don't live in a make believe world can relate too. The dialogue supports the story that is being told with @&$?ing realism and conversational accuracy.

Loved the @&$?ing story
