hayleysellick's review against another edition

I've never seen My Fair Lady, but I know the general storyline and I knew it was based on this book. Despite the 2* rating, I didn't dislike this book; it was just fine. Eliza is fantastic and the scene with the slipper was great, but I could not stand the two male main characters. I know that's the point but they are horribly chauvinistic and I'd rather not read about characters like that.

Snappy, snappy Shaw. There is so much uncomfortably right with this show--- including his little lecture at the end regarding the Freddy-Eliza-Higgins triangle. It's Pride and Prejudice in reverse. And there are far too many Higgins and Freddys in the world.

I'm somewhat sentimental about Pygmalion. It takes me back to speach and drama lessons at school where I had to mangle my vowels as a pre-refinement Eliza. I suspect it came more naturally than I would admit.

I really liked the story and I think it's an incredible piece but still I didn't really like the character of Eliza, I'm sorry but she was really annoying, so it kinda ruined the whole impression of it for me...

I love it.
It's an amazing story.I wish the end was a bit different.
But I think it was more realistic.

We all know the story of My Fair Lady from the theatre; nice to read the original play.

“galatea never does quite like pygmalion: his relation to her is too godlike to be altogether agreeable.”
“but you have no idea how frightfully interesting it is to take a human being and change her into a quite different human being by creating a new speech for her. it’s filling up the deepest gulf that separates class from class and soul from soul.”
