Subject: Suffering levels the playing field
This book is genius because it talks about how all of us suffer, and if we can just get up again and know our suffering means something - we can be better people.
Beautiful work by a man tortured and yet trying to see the bright side.

Subject: He was in jail
Going on and on about going to jail does not make a good book. This book has some very well written text, but just really does not seem to get anywhere.

Subject: Wonderful and amazing text
While many texts by Oscar Wilde critize society in a humorous way, this text is absolutely the most beautifully writen illustration of inequality and injustice which is often unchanged today.
