Love the writing style, but most of the time Wilde over-explains instead of focusing on the plot. 

Some things could definitely be written better, but overall a 3/5, still a good read :))

Giving this 5 stars in the sense I enjoyed writing a paper dissecting the obsession with youth and beauty, however Dorian Gray made me want to punch a wall in the least toxic masculine way possible.
