Review supplied by Alix Wright
The picture of Dorian Grey is by far the most intelligent book I have ever read. Wilde’s victorian London is vivid and entrancing, seedy and sickening all at once. The characters have some of the most honest, achingly funny dialogue I have ever come across in any novel. Cant be beaten. A shame he only wrote one novel. I want more!

1I read this about a year ago and whilst it is a very enjoyable story I found some of the descriptive passage to be more like descriptive chapters they were so long and drawn out.
It’s not my favourite “classic” but it’s also not the worst.
