A review by wohnjick
The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde

5.0

Very good book. The premise is interesting and the story Wilde spins from it is also pretty good, though I must say I got a large portion of my enjoyment from the philosophical elements of the book. In fact I found it be an inverse of Sade's Philosophy in the Bedroom, as Lord Henry's Dolmancé-esque influence and Dorian Gray's subsequent arc is a condemnation of the libertinism and decadentism that Sade (and others) advocate.
