Pros & Cons
Pros
The history is very interesting. I enjoy the hourly reads of many famous people and sometimes as a refresher. Another gem about a fascinating - but immensely troubled - life from hourly history.
Highlights
Quality
This biography dealt with the real life of oscar wilde encompassing his successes and defeats.
Wilde was his true self, as contrasted with the false self, as was the norm in the victoian world.
