Summary: A Must-Read Comedy of Manners
Review: This is absolutely the greatest comedy I have ever read! Its humor appeals more to the mind than the slapstick humor of American comedies. It's set in England, in and outside of London, and is a perfect example of a Comedy of Manners play, though written in the mid-1800s. It involves two men who make up a friend or relative that just "happens" to get into a bad situation whenever they want to go to town (or out in the country). Through extenuating circumstances, one comes to be known as Ernest in the town, and the other becomes the very same person out in the country. This is the greatest comedy play ever written, and I would recommend it to anyone who finds Shakespeare too bland at parts, and the farce of the Three Stooges unbearable. It is probably one of the most well-written plays I have read or seen in my life, rising above most Shakespeare plays and such modern plays as "Inherit the Wind." "The Importance of Being Earnest" holds a message behind the satire of the 19th century that crosses all time; it is better to be honest than to be caught as Ernest.

Summary: Osccar Wilde's best play
Review: This is the first play I have ever read just as a book, and I have never burst out laughing reading anything before. Little wonder why The Importance of Being Earnest is still a hit in theatres and cinemas to this day. Any theatre lover or anyone who enjoys a good comedy should read this play. There is a lot of reference to the lifestyle at the time of this plays performance (around the 1800s) and a lot of political and social talk. Throughout the three act play, it shows how funny fooling everyone, then getting caught can be, as well as finding love, and how friends can either help, or hinder your fooling of everyone. I thoroughly recommend this play to anyone who needs a good read and a good laugh.Highly contrasts Oscar Wilde's best work: the novel 'The Portrait of Dorian Gray', but still a very enjoyable script to read

Summary: Clever and witty even today!
Review: This is Wilde's best play, it is fast moving, has wonderful characters (especially the women), and funnily enough is still a pretty accurate observation of society. Perhaps nothing ever really changes! At the core of the play is the name Earnest, and all that it means to the various characters, and how their white lies and complicated lives catch up with them. And the lines - wonderful ones like "I always carry my diary - a lady should always have something scandalous to read on the train", and "if you are not too long, I shall wait for you forever!". Be assured, all works out well in the end, and all shall be revealed as to how important it is to be Earnest.

Summary: Quite amusing
Review: This play is quite amusing and it is not very difficult to read. I think it does not earn more stars because you already know at the beginning how this play probably will end. Sometimes I had to wonder about the stupidity of the personnages, I mean they act in such a stupid mannor. I do not like the end because the author did not think about a fitting end before writing the book and so I had the impression that he just invented the end. This play is quite amusing to fill up time, but it is not so good that I would read it twice.

Summary: Witty..
Review: This sparkles with wit that belongs only to Oscar Wilde. The sarcasm is delicious and the twists very intriguing. At first I was highly confused by it but midway, I found my bearings. Great read.

Summary: Sparkling!
Review: Wilde's wit shimmers from the most unexpected places on each page. He is master of the comedy of manners, and "The Importance of Being Earnest" is his most light-hearted work. This particular thrift edition is a great buy, with all the original text at an unbeatable price. Read it, or better yet, find a production somewhere and see it performed. Either way, if it doesn't make you smile, you're taking life too seriously! I'll now leave you with my favorite quote, from page 6: "The truth is rarely pure and never simple. Modern life would be very tedious if it were either, and modern literature a complete impossibility."
