I was looking forward to reading this third book that was supposed to end the trilogy. Figured it isn't, but I am still disappointed that the story line was very slow paced and even boring at times. I don't really need Roran's stories every other chapter, and the story's getting real predictable. Bo

I love this camera. Opened up, charged battery, put in 4gb SD card, and away I went. I've shot many pictures and videos with it. Videos are so easy and great. My daughter loves viewing them on the camera after taking them. Shots are great. The digital zoom is great as well. Fits in top pocket, take

This terrific follow-up to The Lincoln Lawyer, featuring troubled defense lawyer Mickey Haller, also includes famed police detective Hieronymous (Harry) Bosch, who has been a hero in thirteen previous Connelly mysteries. Though Haller and Bosch work on opposite sides (one on defense and one on pros

A Must Have For Anyone Who Teaches Wilde
8/2/2008
This BBC-produced version is a bit dry and stale for students used to MTV-style filming and pacing. However, each production is very true to the original works. The biography of Wilde is very valuable for helping students understand how his life influenced his work. The most enjoyable production of The Importance of Being Earnest is the newish one staring Colin Firth and Rupert Everett. It is based more on the original 4 act version of the play. It is delightful, but the director took a bit too much artistic license by putting in some "funnies" that were anachronistic. I recommend using both versions. This collection includes his most important works including The Picture of Dorian Grey.

THE BEST
6/16/2008
I PURCHASED THIS DVD SET AND HAVEN'T HAD THE CHANCE TO LISTEN TO IT TIL NOW. I HAVE ONLY WATCHED "THE PICTURE OF DORIAN GRAY" AND I AM VERY PLEASED WITH THE ACTING, THE QUALITY OF THE FILMING AND THE DVD ITSELF. I HOPE ALL THE OTHER PLAYS IN THE SERIES ARE AS GOOD. THIS IS A SMALL INVESTMENT FOR THE ENJOYMENT AND QUALITY YOU WILL RECEIVE FROM THE PRODUCT.

Surprising Productions with Actors You Will Appreciate
3/21/2008
I was surprised to find Jeremy Brett in a couple performances in this collection. Anybody who appreciated his BBC SHERLOCK HOLMES series from the 1980's will enjoy his rare and impeccible performances in this collection of the Wilde plays.
It made the purchase worthwhile for me, and John Gielgud is perfect.

The Oscar Wilde Collection
3/9/2007
I originally ordered the collection to obtain LADY WINDERMERE'S FAN, a play written by Oscar Wilde, inspired by the life of Lillie Langtry, and offered to Lillie Langtry for the original stage production - which she refused for reasons of 'vanity'. The play is very well done. I was also interested in viewing THE PICTURE OF DORIAN GRAY. I was only familiar with the Hollywood version of the film. This version, in my opinion, outshines the Hollywood version one thousand fold. Very well done, and very well casted.
