Reader Reviews:
original non musical script (15/19 people found this helpful)
the only reason that i did not enjoy reading this book is because its very different to the current script of the musical blood brothers, there is and alternative ending in this book and only features the lyrics to one song: (marilyn monroe) the book is quite shot and misses a great deal out om the present day perfomance of blood brothers, do not buy if you are wanting to experience the laughter and great lines from the current outstanding performance of blood brothers.
"...thoroughly enjoyable...!" (4/8 people found this helpful)
Blood Brothers is one of the most simplest yet most touching plays that I have ever read. Its characters and its wit are unbeatable, making it a play that is thoroughly enjoyable. This is a must see/read!
Amazing (12/14 people found this helpful)
This musical is absolutely fantastic. Russel did an amazing job for his first musical. He not only wrote the script, he also worte the lyrics and the music for the entire show. I own this book and it is incredibly helpful. The script is very moving and when you watch it performed live, you are heartless if you don't cry. It wrenches every tear and pulls on every heart string.
My advice when looking at this book, BUY IT! Then go and watch a performance of it. Or alternitavely if you have already seen it performed, BUY THIS BOOK!
Worthwhile, shame about the typos (38/39 people found this helpful)
First recieved this book and thought it was slightly thin. I was expecting it to have bits edited out. To my suprise the slightly small font (i'd guess about size 10 or 12) revealed the story in more detail than i picked up from the musical itself. An amazing re-encounter with Mickey Edward and Linda was brought back to life for me to read over and over again.
A few typos were present in the book which was a slight let down, but it doesnt subtract from the touching beautiful piece of art brought to life by Russell.
A must for anyone who wants to relive the play in their mind again.
This book is the scripted version including the song lyrics. It doesnt however contain the musical score. Yet, still a worthwhile buy.
Great show (9/14 people found this helpful)
Anybody who cannot appreciate blood brothers must have very low art appreciation, a fantastic show and if you love it as i do, then you should also buy the book!
