Advantages: emotional and all together a good read =]

Disadvantages: i dont know how good the play is

Blood Brothers was first writen as a school play.
It is about two brothers (twins) seperated at birth, one given away to a woman called mre lyons and one kept by the byoligical mother mre johnstone.
Mrs lyons is a very serious woman she wont let anyone get in her way if she wants something, she twisted and turned everything mrs johnstone said so she could have one of her babies (Eddie) because she couldn't concive any of her own, while her husband was on a work trip the two women made the "swap", mrs lyons said that mrs johnstone could see the babie at anytime (but she lied) while mre johnstone worked she would fuss over 'her' babie, but mrs lyons started getting annoyed and sacked her then she later told her that selling your babie is a serious offence and handed her £50, she also told her a fake superstition 'if the boy should ever learn that they once was a pair they will die'

that is the start of the story, if you think it sounds interesting i really do recomend that you go and buy it, But i must warn you at the end, if you get musical Cd, story read alone book or a play book there is a emotional song after the brothers die sung by mrs johnstone as a tribuite to her loved boys mickey johnstone and edde Lyons.
thanks for reading my review
