3.5
dark reflective tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

A young twink realizes the power of his beauty and youth

Jk but only sorta

This book should alternatively be called the Depravity of Henry Wotton. What a rotten character. Such an interesting concept for the plot, and Wilde includes so much of his signature paradoxical satire. Sometimes it gets to be too much but overall very thoughtful and interesting for his only novel.

Who of us hasn't wished to hold onto our youth and beauty forever. F getting old!!!!!
