Editorial Review / Publisher's Information:
Product Description
Witty and buoyant comedy of manners is brilliantly plotted from its effervescent first act to its hilarious denouement, and filled with some of literature’s most famous epigrams. Widely considered Wilde’s most perfect work, the play is reprinted here from an authoritative early British edition. Note to the Dover Edition.

• Downright Hysterical
15 December, 2009
There are little things I can say without just linking to the masterpiece itself on Project Gutenburg. It's cheap, it's public domain, and it's funny as hell. Its satire, wit, and constant pace is beyond comparison. If you want a short but amusing read, look no further - Oscar Wilde is beyond brilliant.

• Delightful!
14 September, 2009
There is just no reason to not like this play! I've seen it many times, (whenever there is even a high school production I like to support it, and go), so I read this play from time to time, and each time laugh out loud as much as the first time.
No need to review Earnest as if its a new book, you already know how good it is, I just wanted to say that I had purchased this new edition for a friends birthday, and I was very happy with it - nice cover, delightful edition!
Enjoy!

I loved the book as much as the live play. It was one of the first plays I've read since college, so it was fun getting used to reading a play format, rather than a novel.

• Laugh Out Loud Funny!
06 September, 2009
Even over a hundred years after its original publication, this tale of mistaken identity and silly social farce continues to not only entertain, but you will be laughing out loud! Jack and Algernon are best friends, who amusingly get tangled in the web of being mistaken for Earnest and falling in love with women who are mesmerized by the name Earnest, which as Jack's object of affection Gwendolen puts it: "it inspires absolute confidence". When the four lovers visit Jack's country home at the same time, the proverbial custard hits the fan. But never fear, a convenient twist resolves matters to everyone's satisfaction all with wit, fun, farce and its hilarious!
Just read it! It's just funny, funny, funny!
