I love this book… mostly. There is however a terribly long chapter somewhere in the middle of the book that was horrible to get through and just for that i removed half a star.The ending was magnificent and the writing is absolutely exceptional. I would have to write an entire essay just analyzing every sentence here but it is delightful to read. Dorian kind of annoys me for the most part he is just ridiculous but i guess thats kind of the point. Henry is just great and funny even though he has some questionable ideas and Basil is just a sweetheart. Must read if your like poetic writing , absolutely infuriating people and a bit of philosophy.

In my second year of highschool i read an easy version of this book, but it wasn't nearly as good as this one. I had already watched the movie so i knew what it was about, but everything about this book is just amazing.
Oscar Wilde is just so talented!!!!

Quite misogynistic and slow but the ending was good and a lot of philosophical things to annotate.
