This felt like a very long essay about all of Oscar Wilde's ideas with some plot and punchlines sprinkled here and there which got very tiring to read at times even though some of his ideas were interesting. Also everything was waaay too convenient for Dorian which was probably the point but it was just underwhelming sometimes.
overall; great concept, some parts were pretty fun to read, didn't like the constant philosophical info dumping.

The Picture of Dorian Gray is good. I wasn’t blown away by it, but the premise is solid and I was pleasantly surprised by how audaciously queer it is. I can see why it’s considered a classic. Definitely worth a read.
