as much a commentary on the pursuit of youth as it is on the importance and purpose of art told in prose that are so flowery it will make you feel like you are standing in a garden.

I loved this! Great classic. Probably one of the most digestible bc of its relatively short length. My only complaint would be that some sections dragged in the middle to me (all the super long descriptions of what Dorian was learning)

the characters were wildly unlikeable to me but the drama of it all was still entertaining 

I might write more thoughts on this later but i need to study for my finals now so my head is literally just not ready to write even a semblance of a cohesive text about this book lol
