Review:"Daisy Miller" is Henry James' 1883 best-seller, a short but well-written novelette about the adventures of a young American woman in Europe. Miss Daisy Miller is a free spirit in an age thoroughly bound up in strict manners, at least for upper class females. She comes and goes more or less as she pleases, with whom she pleases.

Review:Really enjoyed this book, makes you think about what is happening in this day and age. Scary that people can be taken in with promises of better time ahead. It shows what can happen when we, as the people, take a stand for our believe, knowing right from wrong. Read more

Review:I considered using this book as a text in a creative writing course, but I thought it wasn't a good choice. The over-the-top attempts at humor weren't very funny, to me, and the tone struck me as condescending. Overall, it missed the mark. Read more

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: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: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
