" The Importance of Being Earnest" is celebrated not only for the lighthearted ingenuity of its plot, but for its inspired dialogue, rich with scintillating epigrams still savored by all who enjoy artful conversation.

Katie AND David ,

Okay

This is probably a good past time for adults and young adults, but me being a 12 year old it wasn't very interesting and the language was kind of hard to understand. I only downloaded this book because we had to read it in school, but I thought it was very cleverly written. Good job Oscar Wilde!!! 

Humorous

Slow starting through the first half and somewhat predictable but overall I found it to be light hearted and humorous. I enjoyed it. A nice read.

Clever Oscar

This is easily my favorite play. I love it! It makes me laugh with all the jokes pointed at the Victorian era.
