Dorian is a good-natured young man until he discovers the power of his own exceptional beauty. As he gradually sinks deep into a frivolous, glamorous world of selfish luxury, he apparently remains physically unchanged by the stresses of his corrupt lifestyle and untouched by age. But up in his attic, hidden behind a curtain, his portrait tells a different story.

  • Great Imagery and Surprising Turns

    What a beautiful book that took something that felt so grounded and down to earth and completely surprises the reader with events and imagery you’d only expect a great author to pen. One chapter in the book (its longest chapter I might add) is arduous and hard to get through but you are almost immediately rewarded with incredible climax and conclusion.
  • The plot is consistently building

    This one made me sick, but I am sensitive and it is a classic.

    Fantastic novel. This version is missing words in the Shakespeare passages. This is a very minor inconvenience and does not occur often. There are approximately 3-4 passages with words cut off in the entire novel.

    The avalanche of epigrams drowns the book and makes many passages clunky. The best chapter is the trip to the opium den. The writing is more natural and more beautiful because it is not strained.
  • Beautiful chaotic tragedy

    Prideful? Yes. Does Wilde paint beautifully with words? Yes. I went into this book with no preconceived notions and was blown away with words and art there in. Lord Henry was the most loyal friend to Dorian, that type of loyalty and honesty is not always easy to come by.

    Oscar Wilde could write a book about grass growing and I would read the whole series. Right from the very beginning of the book, Wilde’s writing is able to paint the story with surprising vivacity, originality, and depth through the scenery and mainly Gray’s introspection. It’s a bit hard to read at times for a person who does not enjoy watching characters consistently choosing to go down the wrong path, but it’s nevertheless worth a read.

    Absolute masterpiece. A higher level read than most people born in my generation might be used to. Masterful nonetheless. A Diamond in a world filled with excrement and filth.
