after finishing I just wanted to hop in my bed, cocoon in my blankets and pretend I knew of nothing. pretend I just did not just comically leap of my shoes bcs the book in fact knocked me over. because hello??? did I know how it would end? hell yeah I’ve been spoiled before and I mean the foreshadowings were right there at the hindrance blinking bright red. but boy, I still had the audacity to act shocked, oh how I detest henry and dorian, oh how I wept for basil, what I would do to save sybil that poor girl. wished I could just jump in the book and strangle that witty, thou cruel, amusing, but still awfully wicked lord. and how much I wanted to slap some sense into dorian bcs god damn it why are you so dumb. I love classic books, solely bcs they do bring out the worst in me too. this is a classic for a reason and from an philosophical standpoint I great lesson to just use your own god damn mind and that some people are just that idiotic, that cruel and morality is not a given. we have morals and laws for a reason. and I’m just not in the right state to write a good review. but read it everything you read is a worthy experience whether you liked it or not (I sure did love this one )

It was very interesting, some parts were a bit unnecessary and were kind of there to emphasise dorian’s character, so they served a purpose but i didn’t enjoy them. I enjoyed dorian as a character, hated henry, wish dorian had killed him too .

I listened to this on Audrey, which I enjoyed. There was a stretch in the middle (of a pretty short book) that was a bit slow for me, but otherwise I found it interesting with lots of quotable nuggets. I was glad to check it off my list and it didn’t disappoint.

this book is definitely worth the read! it can get a little slow and wordy (especially near the end), but overall a great story with a lot of dialogue that leaves u thinking philosophically. the last page is insane lol!

"What does it profit a man if he gain the world and lose his own soul?" Great book...very clever writing.
