The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde is a hilarious book! A short book of around 61 pages, it's an entertaining yet short read. Written in a play format, this hilarious story is even more hilarious if you read it with a British accent!
The name of this play is an example to how humorous it is. Earnest is the name of one of the characters in the book. Technically speaking. Therefore, The Importance of Being Earnest actually pertains to how it is important to be Ernest, not actually earnest. The two characters who were are first introduced to are Algernon Moncrieff and John Worthing, two very hilarious friends who like nothing more than bickering. Their arguments are the dumbest yet perhaps most intellectual arguments ever.
Yes, it is a classic. But no, it doesn't mean that's it's boring. The Importance of Being Earnest is a play, but not a play like Shakespeare. It's not written in Old English, therefore making it way easier to understand, and anyone who likes some humor will love The Importance of Being Earnest.
I recommend this book to anyone who really needs a good laugh, and to all those parents out there, if your child is absolutely against any classics, this book will surely loosen them up, because it's actually really good, and I have prejudices against classics too, and I still love this book!
*** I give this book a 9.999 out of 10! Amazing classic! ***
