Recent Reviews of Brian Friel Essays
What our users think of the Brian Friel essays in this section:
"This is a bit of a mess, I'm afraid to say. The most glaring problem is that there's no question for this essay, so I'm not entirely sure what to judge it upon. It appears to just be cheat sheet, almost. In that regard I suppose you do a fine job of it, in essence, but it doesn't really flow at all, largely because it is so evidently a number of discrete paragraphs just pushed together. This shows so evidently with one of the paragraphs which you've actually copy and pasted twice! It shows a lack of care and a disregard for quality. I'm sorry, but this needs a rethink.
