”Humanity takes itself too seriously. It is the world's original sin. If the cave-man had known how to laugh, History would have been different.”
this book. oh my lord and savior THIS BOOK WAS WRITTEN AHEAD OF ITS TIME!
there is absolutely nothing I didn't love about Dorian's story. the psychosis of being forever young, the lust for eternal beauty and its consequences. the main character who I loved, emtaphized with, sometimes hated for the shortest amount of time. the dialogues and the monologues Wilde handled with such a professional hand. I can't even remember the last time I have had read such long replies and didn't get bored! because Oscar's characters have the right to talk how much they please and I will listen to them with obedience and fascination.
poor Basil, who was madly in love with Dorian yet had to watch him slowly root on the inside until merciless death kissed his lips. poor Sibyl, who was enchanted by Dorian's beauty yet ended up in such a miserable state of living. even poor Henry — I can't believe I'm saying this! who knew that something was wrong with his friend. and Dorian! our lovely Dorian. what have the devils whispered on your shoulders that guided you to such horrors? my poor Dorian Gray who will never, ever get the chance to love again. . .
this book truly is endless and will be read by many generations from now on. I hope they will get to enjoy it just as much as many of us did.

This book was not good, tragically. Everything between the end of chapter one and Basil’s murder was so unbelievably boring. This was the book equivalent of when a grown man has a thought that he thinks is revolutionary and it’s just a thought that every girl has already had by the age of ten. The writing was nice, but the plot was horrendous. Dorian Gray’s life of sin and debauchery is what fueled the story, and yet we never got a single detail about anything he ever did.
The ending was great and almost tricked me into liking this book and rating it higher, but I have to remember that I was miserable for 90% of it.

It’s honestly a really good book of really bad people, slow passed at times but when the plot hits it hits hard
