I truly love the idea of this novel for being so simple and so complicated at the same time. The downfall of the young aristocrat Dorian Gray ultimately shows that the combination of good looks, infinite money and bad friends can be fatal.Does anyone remember the (really not so good) movie Hollow Ma...

I have never read this one before now. I knew the bare bones of the story due to my high school English class having excerpts of the story. I guess I never wanted to read about a murdering guy who was too beautiful to live. Though I found parts of the story compelling, I found myself getting bored h...

I was quite excited when I started this book. I've always enjoyed Oscar Wilde's plays and Stephen Fry seemed the perfect narrator for his work. I'd expected a few hours of entertainment and stimulation but I was very disappointed with what I heard. Stephen Fry's performance is first-rate. Withou...

A friend of mine told me about The Picture of Dorian Gray and she is quite a fan of it. I wanted to read it as well, to see if it really was as good as she said. I enjoyed reading it. For me, it wasn't the best book I've ever read and there wasn't much surprise for me in it (my friend told me the...

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. The Picture of Dorian Gray is dark, twisted, brilliant and has some great characters, that are an absolute joy to dislike. One of my favorite classics. This book has been tagged as gothic on goodread...

Now this is the way to do an audiobook... with a full cast! Everyone was brilliant and made the story come alive a lot more than just one reader. I am probably one of the last people who didn't really know Dorian Gray's story. A handsome young man about town who during a sitting for a portrait made ...

I really liked this classic, and that ending was amazing.Sometimes, when i read a classic in English instead of my own language, I find it hard to follow the story, because of the writing style and the 'old' words. But not with this one. I found the sentences beautiful, and easy to read. In the back...
