A review by sweetrosegirl76
The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde

slow-paced

• Diverse cast of characters? No

3.75

3.5? Maybe I'll round? Bc there were some funny lines and some profound lines.I made quite a bit of highlights. I liked the plot and I like the premise, but because it was written in 18 whatever there were some parts that were really hard to read. It just felt like old english and it was too long winded, like where are we going with this. I was told it was queer coded and it kind of was in the beginning but not the rest of the book. I was told it was a horror and it definitely wasn't. I read a lot of it because of how it's written and because the audiobooks (I tried 2) suck and like I said I didn't hate it but some parts just felt unnecessary.
