GREAT book. Kept me on the edge of my seat. Commented immensely on beauty; inside and outer.

Not as life changing as It's been presented to me. Still, great writing, great concept, pretty good execution. It leaves a lot to the Imagination, but poor Oscar got flamed enough for the existing level of vulgarity in the book.
 I love how ridiculous the characters are. Iconic like the author himself.
 There's great literary value in the book, while still being entertaining. I think that's exactly what a book should strive to be.

It’s like having a conversation with Wilde about beauty, youth, society and all things debaucherous.
