A review by yogurtwater
The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde
Absolutely dreadful, but that was probably the point.
Look, it's not that I don't "get it." I get it - cautionary tale and all that. That didn't make this any less of a slog to get through, though. I liked the ending, but I had to claw my way towards it. For most of the novel, each time I turned a page I hoped some madman would spring out from a corner and murder everyone with an axe. Except for dear Basil, of course.
Truly dreadful.
