Thank you for a great review! I am not much for plays or poetry, but the play "Jump" sounds very interesting! I have to admit, though, I am a 'prude' when it comes to sexual situations and adult language in books. Adding that to the number of errors I think I will pass on this one!

:techie-studyingbrown: This genre of literature has lost its popularity to some extent in the entertainment industry. The review description of the plays are very interesting and emotive. I think it would worthwhile reading especially by individuals who are aspiring to produce dramatic stage performances.

This sounds like an interesting and timely collection of plays. The stories can move much faster in play form. Nice review.

This sounds like an important book both for those who enjoy plays and for people to come to understand one another better through performance art. Thank you for the helpful review. :tiphat:

A collection of plays sounds interesting! I don't usually read plays myself but I think that the issues brought up by the plays are very relevant to our world today. A shame about the editing errors. Thanks for the great review!

Kudo's for taking on this collection of plays! Excellent review. Isn't it interesting that peace in the Middle East has been a goal of governments for hundreds of years and it is never achieved? This sounds like an interesting drama.

Divided World by Kenneth Pickering sounds pretty interesting. I haven't read any stories of refugees, this will be my first. I can't wait to enjoy the spicy and dramatic book. Congratulations to the author on the Botd. Great review!

This sounds like a fascinating and relatable collection of plays. The authors put a lot of emotion into the plays and all stick to the theme of not belonging. Congrats on the book of the day. Great review.

This sounds like a very good collection of plays. The last play I read was last year and I think this one is really good. Good review!

I'd definitely love to read a collection of modern dramas, especially since they are inspired by the lives of immigrants and all the associated issues they have to face in a new cutural environment. I'm worried about the editing errors, though. Thanks for an interesting review!

I liked the idea of bringing together these different plays into one volume, and I think it might make it more easily digestible for some readers. Immigrant issues are not of particular interest to me so I’m going to pass on this one, but I wish all the authors the best of luck with this book.

This sounds like an interesting collection of plays in a Middle Eastern setting. Too bad about the punctuation errors. Thank you for the great review.

I think plays truly portray a good reflection of the society. I'm intrigued by the fact that the book draws a lot of emotions in the reader. Congrats to the book of the day.
