Loved this book/play. I admit, I saw the film first, which is quite true to the dialogue, but perhaps takes liberties to make it funnier with more bumbling, exaggerated characters than even the novel writes. The humor is witty, biting, comical, and satirical. Characters say one thing and do another, and its all so perfectly ridiculous. Enjoyable light read.

I can't wait to read more Wilde! So this has so many gems of dialogue and ridiculous circumstances making fun of everything. It's probably my favorite play that I've read so far...so enjoyable. ...more
