Brighton Beach Memoirs Audiobook

" Amazingly funny. I loved how Eugene talked and how he made the reader laugh talking about his quirky family. It was funny it made me think about how even though family can get on your nerves in the end they are all you have. "

" Read this for an English class I subbed for--loved it. The characters come alive and regardless of the era of America it depicts--it echoes contemporary life excellently. Enjoy. "

" This is a very funny book, a bit embarressing when you read it out loud though! "

" I did sound for this play. It's funny and witty although I've heard Rumors was better. "

" One of my favorite plays. Neil Simon's best. "

" Brilliant. Will definitely be reading more by Neil Simon. He was able to get at familial relationships in a clear and poignant way rarely seen. "

" Neil Simon's play about coming of age . . . which read as quazi-misogynistic to me. Just saying. "

" A family struggling to survive.. the voices, family, hard decisions and job losses were all there. Great play by Neil Simon. "

" I read this last year trying to find things to read for class. I really thought it was cute. It's about a kid going through puberty. It has some heart wrenching moments and it was so typical of what high schoolers go through. "

" Well, it was a good play and I'm looking forward to (possibly) being in it. But Eugene is your typical fifteen year old guy (not that emotional) and such a pervert. Anyway good plot and very sweet. "

" very entertainig,i feel sitting in front of the stage!! "

" an okay story line, but it didn't really seem like anything special. "

" Light-hearted but good - not a bad choice at all. "

" Masturbation jokes for the win. "

" This book proves that it doesn't take a lot of words or a fancy vocabulary to capture an idea. Less is more. And in this case, so much less is so much more. I loved loved loved Brighton Beach Memoirs. Also has possibly the best last line ever spoken by an adolescent in a book. "

" One of my favorite Neil Simon plays. He writes this one so well that I felt I was a member of the family and experiencing with them their ups and downs. Simon does what all great writers do; he makes the old seem new. "

" A humorous account of coming of age, and the immigrant experience. "

" Probably my favorite of the plays we've read this semester (though my professor would argue otherwise). So relatable, and has many attributes of problems we face as families and community members today. Bravo! "

" Loved the play! The dialogue was extremely interesting and witty. I read this in one sitting and I couldn't stop laughing and cracking up every few pages. Really entertaining. Definitely recommend it. "

" I love Neil Simon and I loved reading this play. His characters are so easy to identify with. "

" A good play that pits happiness against depression. The family members and their situation is very depressing at times yet Eugene provides a burst of fresh air. He may be a horny, sport obsessed teenager, but he manages to amusing not annoying. The ending is heartwarming (a little too much so). "

" there are only two plays that i loved and extremely enjoyed reading: oscar wilde's "the importance of being earnest" and this. funny, intelligent, and touching. recommended to everyone. "

" I haven't read enough plays in recent years, and started back into the genre with this poignant, funny coming-of-age story by Neil Simon. A quick and fun read. "

" This play had excellent sections and really bad ones. I would not read it again, nor see the play or the movie. "

" I have never read a bad play this man has written and my goal is to put on as many of his shows as I possibly can. If you appreciate WWII fiction that feels real I would suggest reading this play. "

" Obnoxious obnoxious obnoxious. Lots of talking but nothing actually ever changes or happens. Perhaps this play is much better performed instead of read. Some how I doubt it. "
