Kadomi reviewed Closer by Patrick Marber
Review of 'Closer' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
I think I read this in record time. I don't usually read screen plays, because I never find the dialogue captivating enough to hold my attention. This was different. The dialogue here is excellent. Raw, at times brutal. I have been in an unhealthy relationship before, and so a lot of this was familiar and very relevant. Relationships can be brutal and unforgiving like this.
I guess you have to have a certain penchant for enjoying to read about unhealthy relationships to truly enjoy this. Luckily for me, I do, and am extremely keen on watching the movie adaptation now.
It's definitely not a light read, so be prepared to be entirely depressed about the nature of human relationships.
