The Picture Of Dorian Gray

3 November 2025 | Books

Decided to read a few books that I had previously started but for some reason never finished. I feel like I’m in a great reading flow so now is the time. First up, this classic…

The intellect and genius of Oscar Wilde oozes from the pages. The repartee between characters is witty, stimulating, insightful. There is a real atmosphere of the Victorian socialite scene rising from the page – the gossip, the prejudice, the opulence, the privilege.

The story itself is dark and so very clever. And I love a short novel. Really glad I went back to this one.
