This is a great book!

This was a great book with a wide variety of monologues to choose from. The commentaries were extremely helpful when I had to perform one of the monologues in class and did not have time to read the play. The best part about having so many great piece to choose from is that I could always find the perfect monologue for class, auditions, etc. This book is worth buying...I have used it many times!
