Five Stars
great resource
T**E
Great technique, long book
The Levins have given theatre artists a great way to understand and apply Stanislavski's acting technique, most of which is completely explained in the first section. The remaining five sections are largely an in-depth analysis of "The Cherry Orchard," which is not necessarily useful for the artist looking for a more general approach to acting. However, the sum lessons of the book are definitely worth the purchase price, and all those interested in theatre performance would benefit from perusing this book.

First Acting book
This was the first acting book I ever read. I got it when I was around 14 years old and have never forgotten it. Very useful. Was a great primer before diving into An Actor Prepares.
