The Uncensored Picture of Dorian Gray

[3.5] i really loved the prose, i thought it was beautifully written and all the symbolism was very interesting. however i struggled a lot to really get into the story and i only really got invested towards the middle of the book. i don't know why i wasn't that interested at the beginning, but it definitely made me like the book less despite the fact that's it's objectively amazing. it's one of the best book i've read and i would recommend it to anyone. i would've loved to give it 4 stars but the truth is that i didn't enjoy it as much as i thought i would, probably because my expectations were too high.
again, i would recommend it to anyone because it's a classic (duh) and also because it deals with pretty interesting topics, and it's one of those books that everyone has to read at least once in their life.
