This play has a good message but its just so poorly executed and boring. At points it picked up but most of it was dull and prorated an unrealistic portrait of teenage life.

(Still as bad the fifth time round [bloody GCSEs])

Lo leí en un día, y está bien. No es nada del otro mundo, tiene un lindo mensaje y ya. El final súper mediocre y vacío. Le pongo dos estrellas porque es entretenido.

I didn´t like this book 100% since the main things that presents are life lessons. There´s not much of action except for the car crash
It presents themes as discrimination and racism and teaches you how to deal with them.
However, it was absolutely boring for me.
Its nothing from another world.

I think this is a case of where I find the writer to be more interesting than the book. He's clearly very skilled and I would like to read other things by him. As is, this is just a play. A good one for teens, but not anything I'm raving about. If someone gave me a free/cheap ticket or if my friends wanted to go, I would go.

I was great to read a bit sad to

[Llinos]

3 1/2 stars, was clearly written by an author not a playwriter but I did enjoy it.

[Pato]

Loved how it is written. Reading dialogue is really easy and entertaining.

[Elizabeth]

Obvious and hokey.

[Susan Mitchell]

Predictable but a great way of teaching about stereotyping and prejudice!

[Alex]

It was really short but also good awareness for people with differences and the fact hat we shouldn’t judge them.

[Liam]

I got this book as I thought it would be good but it turned out to have a good message and a SHIT STORYLINE wish i never
Bought it as it was a waste of money

[Steved1]

Nice play, a little cliched but quite engaging for the younguns.
