Book review

I read "My fair lady" in English. I was intersted in this book. Bebause I performed this drama in English when I was a high school student. So I effectively knew this book's story. But I could study English again. Because this book gave grammer and meanings.
There is "My fair lady" at 1 floor in the library of KGU. If you have a time, please try to find this book.
