:- 1.0 out of 5 stars from OtherWeis -- Great Play. Get a different edition! : The poor review is for the edition and not the material. Avoid this Smith and Brown edition. As with many plays that are old enough to be in the public domain, there are numerous editions, some better than others. In fact, anyone with a Xerox machine can make their own edition of this play, and this is pretty close to that. This is the worst edition I have ever seen of a script. The formatting is ponderous and poorly done. Character names are barely differentiated from the text that they speak; Stage directions are often buried in the text with little to differentiate them. In addition, the text goes so close to the edges that one sometime needs to break open the binding just to read it. There is not introduction, no annotations, nothing of interest to make up for the fact that this edition is annoying to read. If this were the only edition available, that'd be one thing, but there are so many options. I went to a bookstore and picked up this edition: ( Reviewed in the United States on June 17, 2016 )
- 5.0 out of 5 stars from Aquila Chrysaetos -- Macmillan collectors library edition : Of Wilde's plays I have only seen The Importance of Being Earnest which is wonderfully witty and ridiculous. Collected in this volume are the title play along with Lady Windermere's Fan, A Woman of No Importance, An Ideal Husband and Salome. The first four are light entertainment filled with witty dialogue. The last, Salome, is macabre and dark. I was curious about that one because of the hubbub over it being a play based on scripture but laced sexual overtones. I'm glad I read it because its not something I would want to go to see like the other four but in Wilde's defense, the Herods were a nasty, incestuous and murderous bunch and he does not do injustice to John the Baptist or Christ. The most disturbing part about the play is when Salome kisses the severed head of the prophet. She does this because he refused her advances while alive.

- 5.0 out of 5 stars from Brohovsky -- If humour comes in a spectrum and slapstick is at one end of that spectrum, then this is the other end. : It would be all too easy to dismiss this play as a light romantic comedy. Although it is about a series of near thwarted romances – the stuff of a million ‘chick-flicks’ and romantic comedies going back as far as the eye can see in drama – this is also something much, much more. It is also a delightfully amusing commentary on human sexual relations, the English class system and (much more importantly) a perfect mirror on the amusing excesses of human selfishness. In fact, some of the best lines in the play, and the funniest lines in the play, highlight our near infinite capacity to love ourselves. To quote only a few and without hardly looking: ( Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2016 )
- from Ali Julia -- #1 HALL OF FAMETOP 500 REVIEWER : Story is great, this publication of it is not ( 3.0 out of 5 stars )
- 5.0 out of 5 stars from Elaine Fairfield -- LOVE this; one of : This is one of my all-time FAVOURITES! 🙌🏼 I’ve read this about five times since I discovered it (about five years ago), and I love it more and more each time I read it. The film is good too, but not as good as the book 😉 ( Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 19, 2021 )
- 4.0 out of 5 stars from jacw2000 -- A Treat : A freebie on the Kindle, presumably to tempt me to buy the other books. Somewhere on a bookshelf I have The Complete Works, so I'm unlikely to spend actual money on Mr Wilde's stuff. But I tend to read on the Kindle these days so it's nice to pick up a freebie ( Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 8, 2021 )
- 5.0 out of 5 stars from Book Maniac -- Written in Play Format : A famous farce and seen many times in one form or another on TV, I thought it might be amusing to have a book copy of it, not realising that Oscar Wilde wrote it as an actual play. The format makes it less of an easy read than a normal book but it is still entertaining. ( Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 19, 2021 )
- 5.0 out of 5 stars from Amazon Customer -- My favorite play of all : Short, sweet, beautifully written and full of punchlines that stick into the mind, Oscar Wilde's greatest work is a living example of quality, rather than quantity. 65-odd pages are all Wilde needs to ensnare and capture a reader into the upper class society of his day and all of their ludicrous mannerisms. There are hints of Wilde himself aplenty in Algernon and his dashing flamboyancy. ( Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 8, 2010 )
- 5.0 out of 5 stars from Mrs. K. M. Hunt -- A perennial delight : This Play never palls. Oscar Wilde's witty and amusing dialogue remains a perennial delight and it is a play which can be listened to over and over again with enjoyment. ( Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 23, 2012 )
