I don't know why anyone would complain about this reading, I personally loved it. I like the different voices it was as if I was watching a movie. Thank you!
I'm sorry to hear that you have suffered cruel comments. I for one am grateful to you and in fact who were involved in this project. Well done all and thank you.
I fell in love with Wilde's use of language and the story after reading the book. Honestly, I love the different voices and I can even picture how entertaining the scenes are! So here I am to listen to it again!
Am I the only one not listening to this audiobook for school/college? I've read this play many times, it is one of my favourite stories, and gave this a listen out of curiosity. I have to say, the person who plays Algernon is FANTASTIC!
In fact, now that I think about it, perhaps the reason I actually like this play so much, is because I was never forced to read it. I remember having to read various books and no matter how enjoyable they may objectively be, they have been soured by the obligation of having to read them. Actually, I can hardly recall one book that was on the obligatory reading list that I enjoyed reading, or would like to read again, no matter how iconic and supposedly good they are. Maybe it'd be better if students were given a wide selection of books on any given topic or of any given time period from which they could freely choose. It's really a shame so many valuable pieces of work were ruined for so many people for the sole reason of being made to read them...
I was the narrator. I have several times reviewed the comments on this FREE recording. I have been surprised at how mean-spirited, nasty, vile-spoken, ignorant, xenophobic and downright cruel some people have been in the various TH-cam versions of this project. These people do not deserve to be exposed to literature, whether read aloud by professionals or amateurs, or (supposing any of them are actually literate) by themselves. If I had known that abusive, verbally sadistic, cowardly people like these were to be the recipients of my recordings, I should never have bought a microphone and exposed myself to their ugly mockery.
thank you for the narration. please keep up the good work. as a 44 yr old american u may rest assured that there are people in this world who are starving for the classics.
To worry thyself with the opinions of the lower class is a mockery of thyself. Worry not what the squabbling masses believe, popular opinion tends to be the wrong opinion my dear sir. The squabbling masses are allowed access to higher readings such as this in hopes that we can educate them and bring this mockery of a world back from the brink of destruction by drunken WWE exhibitions and the such.
Thank you for your kind comments. Believe me, I value them and take them as assurance that I can continue to read aloud and hope to please the listeners I want to reach.
This is my favorite comedy in the world! By it's incredible humor, as almost all characters are saying seriously the exact opposite of serious considerations. Thank all that made possible to have access to this text, in these impressive manner, including every one who could not have the book!....
Thank you very much. This is of particular interest as I find reading at times too straining to my eyes. Besides the audio gives a flair to the wonderful characters created by Oscar Wilde
There are many books I'd like to read and others re-read, but being that everything one does is on the computer or the phone, my eyes get tired, and I don't feel like reading for fun, so this is a great find for me. I particularly really wanted to re-read this book. I LOVE Oscar Wilde! Thank you very much. 😊
I would have never read the play without audio, and here it is! Im absolitley grateful for having discovered this😊 im happy there are still alterations into reading, now that technology is on the rise😇
Thank you so much! Just reading it, I got so bored! Listening, as well as reading along, I wasn't bored at all and read it all in one sitting. Again, thank you!

I always thought MJ flubbed her line when she saw Peter in the theater in Spider-Man 2 and said "Yes! I mean no..." But that really was in the actual play.
I really enjoyed this, the different voices help you remember the characters and give them distinction. Also the man who voices Algy sounds so familiar! He was also my favourite along with the woman who voiced Cicely
2 cases of false identity and one case of identity theft. Though that last count can be stricken from the record because it was a case of false identity theft.

Honestly, I had a lot of fun listening to it/reading the captions. Act 1 ending got me laughing the most
It's the bad acting. But the writing is superb
34:07 it's simply impossible to not appreciate the hilarious and iconic tone of voice used in the delivery of the famous "a hand-bag?" line
hilarious

Its a fine listen. The aunt especially sounds authentic to her character.
Am I the only one not listening to this audiobook for school/college? I've read this play many times, it is one of my favourite stories, and gave this a listen out of curiosity. I have to say, the person who plays Algernon is FANTASTIC!
Me too!!

Your the besttt
My English literature professor makes a voice when he quotes a passage, and Lane sounds exactly like him.
In fact, now that I think about it, perhaps the reason I actually like this play so much, is because I was never forced to read it.

It depresses me that it’s killing reading as a whole.
That’s exactly what I’m going through right now. We have a timed writing on it tomorrow (the literal first day of school)
This reading is wonderful. Besides quality, it helped my ADHD brain to focus on the story lol. Thank you so much!

Apologies. I mistakenly posted this comment in the wrong place. It was intended for one of the Dorian Gray threads. I shall now re-post it.

Bro chill. I agree with you but chill out. I need you for summer reading so don't delete this video
I’ve now realised for the first time in my life the vital Importance of Being Earnest !
This is my favorite comedy in the world! By it's incredible humor, as almost all characters are saying seriously the exact opposite of serious considerations.
Thank all that made possible to have access to this text, in these impressive manner, including every one who could not have the book!....
This book and recording is the iron sharpening my iron today. So happy for all that contributed to my experience of opulence today . Thank you.
Thank you very much. This is of particular interest as I find reading at times too straining to my eyes. Besides the audio gives a flair to the wonderful characters created by Oscar Wilde
I bet the outtakes are hilarious
How could you not like this. Its like the 19th century tarantino book equivalent
Just decided to try Oscar Wilde books for the first time I'm Dec 23 and I can now understand why he was famous. I love the 2 I have listened to. 😊
I regret a lot for not being earnest in my English literature class.now I am refreshing it
what a joy to listen to , please ignore NEG comms, an exceptionally enjoyable performance from all... thank you very much xxxxx

porridge is just right at 1.25x speed, thanks for the audiobook!
Very, very helpful! My eyes are exhausted so my ears enjoyed this audio through and through!
There are many books I'd like to read and others re-read, but being that everything one does is on the computer or the phone, my eyes get tired, and I don't feel like reading for fun, so this is a great find for me. I particularly really wanted to re-read this book. I LOVE Oscar Wilde! Thank you very much. 😊
I love how you can tell this play was made for English people by the fact it talks crap on the french three separate times.
Thank you to who ever made this. It is way better and easier to remember in my opinion when you read and hear the same thing.
Yo, thanks for this, you might be saving my literature grade (and thus my future)!
curuvari same 😔😭
Same 😂😂
!
had to read this for summer work, this made it a lot easier and faster (as I am a slow reader) thank you so much for this recording!!
Thank you. It is definitely more pleasant to read a play by obligation whilst listening to some delightful voice acting.
I would have never read the play without audio, and here it is! Im absolitley grateful for having discovered this😊 im happy there are still alterations into reading, now that technology is on the rise😇
Thank you so much! Just reading it, I got so bored! Listening, as well as reading along, I wasn't bored at all and read it all in one sitting. Again, thank you!
I really like this recording. It is so much better then just reading the play. Great job!
I LOVE THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST!!!!!! 😍 AND I LOVE THIS!!! 🤩🤩🤩
Some funny circumstances lead me to this tonight. I just finished act 1 and am in love
This is a Librivox recording !!! 🗣️🗣️🗣️
Ah I love learning about older literature because all the audio books for them are free on TH-cam lol
i’m shocked to see all these rude comments this is a wonderful audio
Thank you so much. The voice artists are excellent!

So so good. As usual with Oscar Wilde I was literally laughing out loud. Hilarious.
I always thought MJ flubbed her line when she saw Peter in the theater in Spider-Man 2 and said "Yes! I mean no..." But that really was in the actual play.
