im writing a review now bc i was too lazy to write one when I finished it.

Ok so like. It was ok. Definitely not oscar-worhy (see what i did there) (get it. oscar wilde) but great!

This book was revolutionary for its time. and controversial. I mean. It basically invented the plot twist. And the themes were so nice? Like noo babe haha don't descend into mortal sin for eternal youth ur too sexy haha. Hedonism, influence, sin and youth? Yeah just great.

Also so short? And beautiful descriptions!!??

Anyways it did bore me sometimes. Just felt like rambling without a point at times.

Basically its good plot wise and theme wise

This book was astonishing and mind-blowing! Full of creepy, strong, and amazing scenes that leave you questioning everything. One of the best classics that I've read! I highly recommend.

while there were a few things i didn’t care for, overall this book is such a beautiful read. the story was addicting, especially the second half, and the writing is poetic throughout.
