Not my favourite classic. The story and message itself is amazing but I found the first half slow. It picks up towards the end. It was worth sticking with because the ending is incredibly clever.

I do wish the ending was drawn out longer somehow

A philosophical, witty,  psychological horror dripping with hidden meaning and subtle allusions. I can see why people call Wilde a master of his craft.

Review isn’t necessary, it came out like 140 years ago—everyone should know by now that it slaps.
