A review by strawbe_rese
The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde

3.0

The characters in the novel are fascinating. Dorian is a beautiful, empty headed boy ripe to be filled with Lord Henry's ever-flowing thoughts and ideas. The lesson to be learned is clear as we see Dorian's growing obsession with remaining young and beautiful grow as we witness other character's fixation with beauty and youth imprint and influence his mind. His deepest desire is granted and his spiral downwards is as fascinating to behold as it is grotesque.
