They didn’t work on regular perfume sprays. I got it to work on a glen20 bottle.: Easy cheap option for high school novel.

Terrie D. Robinson: A jury of twelve men determining the fate of one young man who's accused of, and on trial for, the murder of his father. The trial has taken place, the jury is now sequestered in the jury room to deliberate and decide the defendant's guilt or innocence. This is where it begins...

I absolutely devoured this short two-hour audiobook and when I finished I had goosebumps and watery eyes. Yep, it's the 'emotional reader' in me surfacing once again.

What you get with this audiobook is the experience of listening to the L.A. Theater Works production being performed by seasoned actors in front of a live audience. The acting is first rate and you'll recognize their names. I assure you, it's something you won't want to miss.

Originally published on January 1, 1954, Twelve Angry Men has topics that look at our society and legal system through a magnifying glass. Although written 69 years ago the subject matter is still at the forefront of our American melting pot culture. It's stuff that matters.

In my quest to read more classics, I was elated to rediscover a jewel. My hope is that you'll take the time to read or listen to this one, as well. I highly recommend it!...

GIANNI DE ANGELIS: Light reading

Esther N. Unger: A superb audio recording of 12 Angry Men. It was actually highly entertaining--awesome! However, the one issue I had with it, hence a four star rating and not a five star is that it is not compatible with ANY of the existing, current print versions of the story. I wanted it for classroom use and ended up returning it because my students would be too distracted by the audio that was completely off from the written version. But for anyone who is looking just to listen to a superb audiobook on the way home from work or something, this is the audiobook to buy!

I LUV AMAZON: (ISBN-10: 1580813402 and ISBN-13: 978-1580813402) Oh, that "Studio One" my generation watched on the telly. My mouth just waters at the thought of such excellence that regularly came into our living rooms as live broadcasts. "Twelve Angry Men" was originally written as a teleplay for the 'studio' by Reginald Rose, who is also in receipt of my kudos for writing the screenplay for the movie of the same name starring Henry Fonda, and this audio CD, which was directed by David Mamet. A real class act, this.
We don't know which actor is which, except by a process of elimination of the voices we do know. The remainder we can guess about, and 'the back cover of the audio CD matches up juror number to actor, which may not be of help; jurors are not referred to by name or number' at all, and the actors are no slouches either. (Publisher's Weekly)
Actually, identifying the actors is the least of our problems, for in brief, we are sequestered inside the jury room alongside the twelve, eleven of whom are fighting the holdout among them who has reasonable doubt.
Their problems become our problems. They react to every little thing, e.g. whether the window should be opened on a really...

John F. Rooney: On April 24, 2008, I was fortunate enough to see a mesmerizing production of "Twelve Angry Men," the professional Equity touring company of the Roundabout Theatre's 2004 rendering of the play. The road company starred Richard Thomas as Juror Number 8, but this play is an ensemble acting piece, not a single star vehicle.
In the play the all-white jurors have no names:
#1 is the foreman, a high school football coach
#2-a fairly neutral guy whose kid has the mumps
#3-sadistic, has had run-in with his own son, nasty, says of the defendant, "He's got to burn."
#4-a methodical note-taker who wears glasses
#5-grew up in the slums
#6-an ordinary Joe, a house painter
#7-rabid sports fan who wants to be at his ball game, will change his vote just to get out of the jury room
#8-an architect, man who has doubts, has courage to buck the crowd, without his kind, justice would perish
#9-an observant old man
#10-a racist who spouts his venomous bias about "them"
#11-an immigrant with a German accent who has more faith in democracy than some native-born Americans
#12-an advertising man who goes along with the crowd
Jurors Numbers 3, 7, and 10 are the "bad...
