this book would lend itself very well to a play! so funny to see the characters personality change by the end. a fast moving and still interesting bit on social classes, money, and who should marry who. great job by the readers as well.
short, simple, fun. excellent.

some of the readers did a tremendous job. one or two read a bit too dramatically, which made it a tad awkward. but very enjoyable all the same. thanks to all.

An enjoyable tale and a warning to all of us about how having others in our home for a time can change our lives...and not always for the better!
