The only thing I don't entirely love about the book is that Lord Henry's dialogue is so overtly quotable. Every few sentences he makes yet another witty remark that seems to be jumping off the page. At first it was charming, but then it gradually started to bother me. His dialogue was so clever and perfect and larger-than-life that it was uncanny, like a photoshopped picture. However, I think this could just be what the author intended, since other characters have the same reaction to Lord Henry - they initially find him charming, but later become disconcerted.
