More of a 3.5 star rating. I loved the movie version of this and wanted to give the book a try. I think this was very well-acted and I didn't mind that a majority of it was in the format of telephone calls, but I will say that it did get a little repetitive and I couldn't help but wonder how it would work in a stage setting. This is definitely one of the few works that I think the movie did a better job.
