I was constantly enthralled in Oscar Wilde’s writing. This is a book that is very hard to put down because it is filled with only thought provoking or otherwise interesting lines; I found that the amount of character in each line was so potent you almost could drop all the dialogue tags and still know who is speaking. It was wonderful to try and dissect all the layers of meaning behind each line. I am realizing that this review sounds really pretentious, but I just finished the book and it is very late at night; leave me alone.

Half a star off because I found chapter eleven to be genuinely such a bore.
