I'll start this by saying I haven't watched My Fair Lady and I picked this up off @friendofgossig 's shelf for a quick read having not read many plays before but enjoyed those which I have so thought it could be a nice quick read.
 
 The characters in this are a lot of fun, there's a great variety with each character bringing something different to the story, Eliza and Higgins have a bit of depth as well which is impressive given the length of the book. There were several laugh out loud points throughout, and I found myself quoting bits of the play afterwards. I always seem to enjoy stories of social mobility set in this era and this was different to a lot of other plots I've seen following that theme.
 
 I can't imagine another ending being much better so I suspect I'll be disappointed with My Fair Lady but I'll decide when I watch it eventually. My edition had a section at the end with a sequel to summarise what happened in the future which tied up the story nicely. I'll try to read more plays in the future I think as so far I've always enjoyed them and I can't get to the theater myself as often as I'd like. If I see anything by Shaw playing though I'll be going out of my way to attend.
