A review by vivisms_82
The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde
dark
mysterious
4.0
Shallow vanity and living a debaucherous life, free of accountability at the expense of maintaining a soul with a conscience and kindness. A tale that holds as much today as it did 130 years ago.
It is weird, and perhaps a little obnoxious to review a classic (!!) but will say there is quite a bit of philosophy in this and long thoughts and internal dialogue which I will admit, I found my mind wandering at times. But otherwise this is an acclaimed classic for a reason.
** Note: some uneasy use of prejudicial slurs when referring to people of Jewish faith.
