The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde

5.0

If you simply were to explain the entire plot of the book very simply, it may seem a little dull, considering the promise the concept offers. What makes this book amazing is the writing (as is of course expected by Oscar Wilde), and the philosophies embedded throughout. Whether it's Lord Henry on one of his charming rants, Dorian's musings, or the narrator's commentary, the book questions how we conceive art, beauty, and good and evil. In this way it is fascinating, and is certainly worth the read.
