The picture of Dorian Grey by Oscar Wilde

Date finished 02 Apr 2021

Recommendation: 3/10 The picture of Dorian Grey by Oscar Wilde book cover

This wasn’t for me. The first half was tedious. Rich 19th century men swanning about, bitching and fawning. It only starts to get interesting around the middle with Sibyl Vane’s suicide and Dorian’s callousness. The book seems to improve just as Dorian’s soul and painting deteriorates. Not enough for me to give this much of a recommendation though.
