3.5. I can’t judge a book from another time by today’s morals, but I can’t give it a 5 star rating either

I thought this book would be a quick read like the plays by the same author, but it wasn't at all. As a non-anglophone, It was so challenging that I couldn't read a lot at a time.
I liked that it explores the themes of moral conscience and appearances. I didn't get any depper meaning from it though.
I liked the dialogues and the characters repartee, typical of Oscar Wilde's works.

With its short length, snappy pace, a legendary premise and well-ahem-portrayed characters, this is an accessible and very entertaining classic.
