i hated it. i feel really bad for saying that but ??? Dorian was vain, Henry was despicable and Basil deserved better friends.
the plot was boring to me
the end ? not even remotely surprising
sorry my boy Wilde but i can't be with you on this one

Dorian Gray is such a fascinating and complex character. Calling him vane is an understatement. I have a whole rant written down but it’s much too incoherent to post. Amazing book.

4.5 // Though much of this felt like a clear self insert at times, it is undeniable that Oscar Wilde is a literary genius. I would argue that this, especially given that it is his only novel, is his magnum opus and I would urge all to read it once in their lives.

I read this book for school!!
And I dislike the characters- they are misogynistic- but the concept is gorgeous. And I feel if I didn’t just read to get the assignment done I would’ve actually enjoyed reading it more..
