The Picture of Dorian Gray
Hell can be fun! A book choc-full of bon mots and little phrases to use in everyday life. Wilde was genius personified. Carry this with you always.

I'm reading this for Book Club and I try not to put it down -- because I'm afraid I won't pick it up again! While I see how good the story is, I'm sorry to admit that I find the author buffoonish in the way he goes on and on about some things -- I get the point! I know that some of it comes down to the fact that the book was written in 1891, but I've read Greek plays, other authors from different eras, etc., and liked them, so maybe I just don't appreciate Oscar Wilde.

I think that it was an autobiography.......And he knew it
The Picture of Dorian Gray
Building up my library so no time to read-then-review but looks good at first glance. Sorry I can't be of more help but it will be a while before I do. The title caught my eye!
The Picture of Dorian Gray
The story itself is interesting but the pages and pages of rambling non-sense ruin the book. A struggle to finish.
The Picture of Dorian Gray
I did not enjoy this story. I really really wanted to. I tried very hard but in the end I was just plain bored. When I realized I was wasting my time I moved on.
