Marvellous! So good. It's such a small read and it seems rather weird how everything will turn out in the end and how quickly things will have to go but the story goes in a smooth way. The humor, irony, sarcasm is very well portrayed and so is the selfishness and nosiness. It's a good read with a lot of comedy.
A Trivial Comedy for Serious People. Give it a try :)

Now, this is great fun for a Victorian novel. All the confusion over the name Earnest... and all the forced politeness between everyone. God, I love it. I had a blast all the way to the end.
Not a highly entertaining read, although there are a few humorous parts. Because this is a script for a play, the reading is quite a bit different from that of a novel. It also is worth noting that the copy I downloaded from Standard eBooks had a few formatting difficulties.
