The Uncensored Picture of Dorian Gray

I have mixed feelings. The beginning of the book was quite funny, but I was under the impression Basil would be in it more. But really it ended up being pages and pages of Lord Henry spouting his ridiculous, nonsensical philosophies. I don't love reading about unlikeable characters. I wouldn't put Dorian in this category, but Harry definitely.  

I also was struggling somewhat with the way dialogue is written. I think older books do that more often, where one character was a big part of just speech and then nothing else is described in between. No physical reactions, facial expressions or thoughts or anything. It made it feel emotionless and slightly tedious. 

I did really like reading about Dorians descent into madness. And this morals turning on him. I would say I enjoyed it the book, but it wasn't in the way I would enjoy something that isn't a classic.
