I am in awe of the 2nd half of this book.

The first 100 pages were not particularly gripping to me although their contents were important later on, the whole time i read that 1st half I wanted to shoot a nail gun into my skull rather than read more Lord Henry blabber (man can run his mouth about absolutley nothing for a ridiculous amount of time)

But that 2nd half. Whether it was the less Lord Henry interactions or the plot twists I was hooked. Incredible and alot more dark and shocking than I expected, the ending was perfect to me.

No fr why do all classic books move so slowly and talk about the most irrelevant things then suddenly everyone is dying at the end. But in all seriousness, it was a pretty good book, although I started to lose interest like halfway through but it picked up again later on. I would read it again to be honest
