“The Importance of Being Earnest honestly made me laugh. The way the characters spoke to each other is amazingly honest and at the same time polite. My favourite character is Algernon. I find him quite hilarious, and he knows a lot about life. I also felt quite surprised at how Jack also called John was able to pull of such a scheme. I think that if you want to have a bit of light reading, and want to laugh a bit, this is the book for you.”
