The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde


Intriguing, nothing but. I was so absorbed in this cruel little book that I hardly noticed the end coming. It was written as hauntingly beautifully as the picure in the novel was painted. It has a circular poetic nature to the story and it's fascinating. I really don't want to say much about it, I feel as though any bit of summary would completely ruin the surprise. I only knew this book was a classic when I began to read it, I had no idea what the cover held inside for me. Because of that I truly enjoyed the book. So if you want to know why the Picture of Dorian Gray is so famously mentioned throughout history in other books and top rated music, I guess you will have to read it yourself.
