The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde

5.0

---

You can tell why this is a classic. With dynamic characters, a thrilling plot, and his turns of phrase, Oscar Wilde proves his infamous skill. While he could be a bit long-winded at times, I was intrigued by his commentary on society and human behavior and psychology, especially curious about which of the distinct perspectives of the three main characters he most agreed with. I always knew the gist of the story, but in actually reading it, I think I missed the “deal with the Devil” part. Now for something a bit lighter.
