Rating: - Genius, Genius, Genius
Oscar Wilde is a genius. His social satire is as crisp and hilarious as it was when it first appeared. He is one of the very first literary loves of my life. (I was reading his stuff before I even understood many of the references, while still loving his sharp language and witty repartee!) This is an excellent collection of his works - really well-done and well-edited. I highly recommend him.

He has a tongue-in-cheek way of narrating stories, usually keeping the reader on their toes (except when they're rolling on the floor laughing) but never alarming or abandoning them and never for a moment causing them to wish to put the book down. He is a legend, and his works are undeniably classics.
In this one book is contained all his life's ... Read More

a most wonderful and pleasant reading throughout...i borrowed the book from the library first and while reading it decided that i have to have a copy near me so that i can pick it up any time i want. the only slight is that the dust jecket has a different photo of the author, the one on the older edition is much better. a great book.
Rating: - Has it all.
This book has it all. If you are an Oscar fan, than it is a must for your collection.
