Summary: Not enough angry monologues but great sad monologues

Summary: if you're using this for a speech team...
Review: The reason why I bought this book was to get a speech from it. I was in Dramatic Interpretation. Nearly all of the monologues were too short for the 8 minute time limit. I like to have my speech over 5 minutes. I did get a speech out of here, The Art of Dining by Tina Howe. But I had to combine 2 monologues. This was last year. For this season, nothing is satisfactory. I am going to buy a new book. This book is good for entertainment. I friend of mine bought the book after she heard my speech. It would be a good book for a short audition speech or a drama class. But for the purpose that I purchased it for, it failed.

Summary: I like this book. it should have more teen monologues
Review: This book is a good book if you audition a lot at professional and amature theatres. It also is good if you are on a speech team and need different types of monologues. The only drawback is that it dosen't have many teen monologues.

Summary: What a great sourcebook!
Review: This book is fabulous for people needing audition pieces...these monologues are not overdone, and they all come from recent plays. If you need edgy, witty, or just some awesome pieces, get this book and enjoy!

Summary: Great Selection
Review: This book is great for acting students. I've used several of the monologues from this book with great success. There are some classics as well as some more obscure monologues. I would recommend adding this book to your collection of monologues or to use in the classroom for students who are having trouble finding material.
