5.0

I honestly have no words... and no reason to not give this book 5 stars. Everything happened so perfectly, so exquisitely. Dorian let his mundane habits destroy his innocence and ended up being destroyed by his darkest secrets. Did he went mad or was the picture really alive? I had only heard fantastic things about this book and it didn't disappoint. To learn that Oscar Wilde was so good with words, making you part of the story, like another character, feeling what Dorian felt... What a majestic story, and what a wonderful character the picture of Dorian Gray made - because yes, the picture was just another characters, even with more protagonism than Dorian himself. Totally recommend.
