I know Dorian is a despicable human being, twisted and wicked but somehow I’ve managed to know his thinking I’m not justifying him but is one of the most intersectional characters I’ve known in literature. Good reading with Oscar Wilde.

What a fabulous book! I knew the basic premise, but never having read it was enthralled. Still holds up well today and highly recommend it. Quite a quick one to get through.
