» PLOT «
A Doll('s) House is centered around Nora and her husband Torvald. Nora has a secret that could threaten their marriage and status. As they are cooped up at home, secrets find their way out of the cracks to transform Nora and Torvald's lives.
I did like the story when I read this book the first time, and I enjoyed it again. I think if it were not for the fact that the first time I read this book, it for was school, I would've missed the nuances and subtle details in parts of the story. These details really do make the story a bit better.
» READABILITY «
This time, I used an audiobook, and I enjoyed it a lot more than I did in the past.
» CHARACTERS «
The characters surprised me. They are very human and realistic, and that makes the story feel more real and interesting.
» WRITING «
I have to keep in mind that I read this via an audiobook, but I know that if it weren't for that, I would have having a harder time reading this. The writing isn't the easiest to get through, but the story is told well.

This play was actually quite good. It can be slow at times, but I did enjoy a couple of scenes regarding Nora and Dr. Rank as well as Kristine and Krogstad. I also liked the ending.
I did not listen to this via audiobook/CD. Rather, I read it from a textbook that I too little information to find the right edition. The writer, title, and translator are correct though.
