Me ha encantado. Desearía que en lugar de echarle la culpa al pobre Basil, Dorian hubiese sido realista y se hubiese dado cuenta de que la culpa la tuvo Henry y fue ese desgraciado el que arruinó su vida. Deseo volver a leérmelo porque realmente me ha encantado, pero me quiero leer la versión sin censura, la real.

"Basil Hallward is what I think I am; Lord Henry what the world thinks of me: Dorian what I would like to be- in other ages perhaps" - Oscar Wilde. This book is a treat~ the chemistry between three friends, moral degeneration of Dorian leading to scandals and his redemption! Loved it
It's difficult reviewing the classics simply because they've been written in a different era, different styles...
So... I wouldn't read it again, can't say I loved the characters, but felt sorry at times for Dorian.

This book is exceptional. The story might start off a little slow, but as soon as you have started to understand the conflict you are hooked to Dorian just like the other characters. Dorians' demise into the world of hedonism makes you question how easily we are tricked by outer beauty ourselves, especially if it is given to you. The path towards the ending is where most of the psychology intrigue occurs, and that's where I enjoyed this book the most.
Highly recommended.
