I’ll keep this review short as I find it incredibly difficult to review classics. It’s so hard to know what to say about books so highly regarded, regardless of whether I agree. Everyone surely knows the story of The Picture of Dorian Gray, a young man who sells his soul (or you could say trades i...
I don´t think I can add something new to the dozens of reviews out there, so I will keep it brief.

But not with this one. I found the sentences beautiful, and easy to read. In the back...
German and english review Ich finde die Klassiker sind einfach immer irgendwie am schwersten zu bewerten. Aber ich muss sagen, dass es eines von den "alten Büchern" ist, dass sich wirklich richtig gut hat lesen lassen und durch das ich relativ schnell geflogen bin und auch alles gut verstanden h...
