i honestly don't know if this is a 5 star book but it may as well be. after chapter 11 every single thing just threw me off. every chapter contradicted the one before and stuff that i thought wouldn't happen happened. it seriously kept me on my toes. oscar wilde is a good writer though i am upset he relates to dorian too much. anyway: fuck harry.
basils only fault was loving dorian.
. fuck dorian. gladys the duchess has my heart.
sibyl vane and her brother (mom too) deserve so much better.
i'm giving -0.5 because some stuff harry and dorian would defend pissed me off :)
