Book Reviews of The Picture of Dorian Gray - Oscar Wilde
Book Review: Timeless classic? I hardly think so.
Summary: 2 Stars
First off, let me begin by saying that this book was not completely devoid of any good characteristics. It was written in a style of gentle prose that was easy to read, and it did put forth at least a few interesting concepts. On the whole though, the ideas in this book were utterly ridiculous and totally lacking in any true depth. They appear to me to be the vain ramblings of a man consumned in his own deepness, thereby proving how shallow he truly was. I would liken this book to a picture in which detailing, shading, and general looks are pleasing, but the perspective is off, ruining the whole picture. So perhaps you would enjoy this book if you are looking for a few ideas and smart sayings put together in a seemingly random, and almost chaotic order.
