I wouldn't be exaggerating if I said that this novel is one of the GREATEST novels I've ever read in my whole life!Oscar Wilde ripped my heart off like a charming bloody vampire and threw it inside his book, between his words, where I shall never be able to get it back. I'm sure I won't be able to e...
I decided to read this book because I liked everything I've read of the autor so far. At first I didn't like it, it seemed very dense and even boring to read.

The reason I will not exhibit this picture is that I am afraid that I have shown in it the secret of my own soul."And so begins this t...
It's hard to rate this kind of book because it's a classic that was written in the 1800's, so it's not something I'd normally read. It's well written, but in my opinion, unless you're reading it to dissect every detail for an essay or something, it just feels very outdated in the way it's written an...
This book probably was not meant to be read by someone like me. Most of the time I just found this book to be too odd (I was mostly half-asleep while reading this, so that could have been a major factor). I didn't like any of the characters in this book, and found myself skipping pages where there w...
