I don't know if this is the right edition because I listened to it on Spotify while on a road trip. It was really interesting and suspenseful! I love Oscar Wilde's style of writing. 4.5 stars!

I was expecting more out of this book, but I just ended up being disappointed. Maybe I'm just not pretentious or philosophical enought to fully understand this book, but I found it boring, and I think that a boring book is worse than a badly written one. I will say that the first 2/3rds were more enjoyable than the last third, but after that it just seemed to me like a lot of rambling.

Poor Basil. He was the only one who wasn't excessively talking all the time and Dorian killed him!Spoiler
