The Importance of Being Earnest - Oscar Wilde (5 of 5 Well-timed Letters from Mr. Bunbury)

Man...why do I even write reviews? You've got five posts up before I even get anything on the page. Thanks for the contributions!

I'm at a lost for words. It's as if I was telling a joke and you all beat me to the punch line. It's a wonderful play. I've seen it, listened to it, read it, and seen the movie. Each time has been a great experience. I always finish wanting more. Thanks for the recommendations of Wilde's other works.

The grand plot line is somewhat predictable, but I don't really care. Wilde makes up for it the line by line banter. Love it.

I'd write more but I just received a text from my poor cousin Mildred. She's stuck on I-15 with a flat tire. I'll be back in a few days... :)

Agreed, Mr. Wilde is one of my favorites. If you like this, I highly recommend An Ideal Husband, Lady Windermere's Fan, and of course The Picture of Dorian Gray. Cynicism at its best.

I absolutely loved this, and found that the Hollywood film was much more enjoyable after having read the book. There are few stories quite as entertaining as reading this was to me.

Is there actually something posted here, and I just cant see it, or is it just blank and you have yet to post anything?

Ha! Anonymous commenter--I totally thought the same thing. I guess everyone's commenting just on the 5 of 5 score. :)
