I have been really looking forward to this book. I only knew Dorian Grey from
The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen and wanted to know what this character was all about. I was not disappointed. The book is very well written and engaging (except for that one chapter where Dorian talks about all the things he took fancy in during the time skip. Oh how many pearls were described! *yawn*). What I can say is this: the magic portrait fascinates me and also the idea that it not only reflects aging but also moral decay.
