What can I say about this book? I loved it. Oscar Wilde has such an incredible way with words, I adore his writing. I also couldn’t believe how shocking, yet how hilarious this book was. It pulled so many gasps and laughs and smiles from me, and who could ask for a better reading experience than that?

Also: I expected this book to be gay, but <I>damn</I> this book was gay. Wilde was practically putting up a neon sign asking for a sodomy charge with this one.
