Okay. So. Ratingwise this was a bit of a Rollercoaster.
I read Lady Windemeres Fan first and that one was am easy 5 star read! Then I went on to A Woman of no Importance which was like. Yeah sure. The sum still gets 5 stars even if that may have been a high four stars. Then An Ideal Husband... Yeah, that one didn't really do it for me. It was a three star read and I was like Well, going to be 4 stars on average BUT
The Importance of being Earnest was amazing. I laughed so much (it was very helpful not knowing anything about this beforehand so I had the wonderful experience of figuring out the stupidest (affectionate) plot I have ever read in my life. Truly wonderful. It was so good that even the addition of Salome which was... eh couldn't sway me from my rating. After all the title it The importance of being earnest *and other plays* riiiight
so, tldr:
5* for Lady Windemeres Fan
4* for A Woman of no Importance
3* for An Ideal Husband and Salome
And 5* with my highest recommendations for The Importance of being Earnest
