I've heard about this book so much that I had to read it just because I was tired of it. Needless to say, I so glad I finally did. Oscar wilde was such a great writer and the mf knew it, nonwonder he was so full of himself. Amazing read, will read again.

Oscar Wilde is one of my all time favorite writers, that opening paragraph just melts in your mouth. This is a classic favorite of mine that I return to regularly.

A young twink realizes the power of his beauty and youth

Jk but only sorta

This book should alternatively be called the Depravity of Henry Wotton. What a rotten character. Such an interesting concept for the plot, and Wilde includes so much of his signature paradoxical satire. Sometimes it gets to be too much but overall very thoughtful and interesting for his only novel.

Who of us hasn't wished to hold onto our youth and beauty forever. F getting old!!!!!
