Review:Thank you Oscar Wilde!! I loved reading this book while waiting in line for the Toronto Film Festival movies to start..... I have so many nuggets from my recent indulgence of Oscar Wilde's witty, fun, original, and rhythmical play, "The Importance of Being Earnest".

Every phrase and expression is a thought worth enjoying and applying to our life today. The play on words, the glittering conversation, the unexpected turn of phrases, it's deliciously clever and a classic it remains forever. ... Read more

Review:This version of play was good and the actors captured the tone of the play well. The actors playing Lady Bracknell, Gwendolen Fairfax and Cecily Cardew were very good. The male characters were portrayed at an acceptable level but not was good as the female characters. I would recommend this version. Read more

Review:Oscar Wilde must have been quite the character in his day. This play about mistaken identity is not only laugh out loud funny but cutting at the same time. He skewers the upper class with his observations about their behaviour. No wonder it has been done in countless theaters over the years and been made into at least one film that I can think of.

Review:I was so long forward to this book and had high expectations for it. It was supposed to be the last of the series, and given that the hero is into his late forties, it had the potential for being a different kind of HEA. So I was pretty disappointed with this book. Very flat, very repetitive, a strange, out of the blue twist.... Not a great end to a very good series. Read more

Review:In my late teens and early twenties Margaret Atwood was one of my favorite writers.... and then she got weird. I just finished reading her new book The Heart Goes Last. How disappointing. None of the characters were likeable and the story was both far fetched and kind of raunchy in a "gross-why-am-i-reading-this?" sort of way. Don't waste your time or money. Read more

Review:Margaret Atwood's story woven around Shakespeare's The Tempest, is a unique, entertaining tale. It is the story of a play, within a story, within a play, within a story. It is an enjoyable read, and great choice for the Hogarth Shakespeare series. Read more

Review:I think I'm setting myself up to be abused for an imperfect understanding of Forster's work, but I love Maurice, and I only like everything else he wrote. Forster's plots to me are so controlled that his novels become more like chess games than stories--his characters move entirely according to their classist/symbolic value; their minds are types, their types interact. Sometimes this interaction is delightful, as in Room with a View. Sometimes it is genuinely touching, as in Where Angels Fear... Read more

Review:This is the worst book I have ever read. It has no point and goes nowhere. Some people would say dung thrown against a white canvas is modern art. If you are one of these such people you may love this book. I, on the other hand, see it at face value. The Emperor has no clothes. An absolute waste of 2 hours in vain frivolity. Read more
