This was my first experience with Oscar Wilde and I enjoyed it greatly. This book was way different than I anticipated, although I can't say what I thought it was going to be. It was really the supernatural aspect that threw me off.
And going off that like wow this had some weirdly similar themes to the ones I studied in my horror literature class last semester. There was a serious case of doubling going on and the parallels between this story and Edgar Allan Poe's short story "William Wilson" are... uncanny. (heh heh)
Besides about 50 pages or so in the middle the book moved fast and although the plot was kind of predictable, Wilde somehow kept it interesting. And Lord Henry is one of the funniest characters of all time, he constantly had me laughing out loud.
Oh and I got the copyright on a dark, modern, romantic comedy based on this book because that's a untapped goldmine. The script is in the works I'll keep you all in the loop.
(god this review was such a shit show I apologize)

Was kind of dissatisfied with the ending and some parts seemed to tediously go on and on, but it was an engaging read.
