This is hands down one of the best books I've read. Oscar Wilde has an incredible way with words, and as I said before, I hate myself for not reading any of his work sooner. This was a beautiful, yet terribly tragic piece. I sympathize with Dorian while also hating him for the things that he did. He was blinded by corruption and even when he realized what was happening he couldn't stop.

Henry was also an interesting character that of course played a big role in Dorian's fall. I found that a lot of the things he said could still be applied today with society's outlook on life, relationships, and beauty. It is very easy to romanticize tragedy.

I highly recommend it and wish this was still required reading for school.
