I absolutely loved this book! Dorian was not a character to feel sorry for, but you had to have some kind of connection with him. This book really made me think about myself. Would I sell my soul for eternal life (I don't think so). If I did what kind of person would I be, would it make me a better person, or someone that no one could stand to be around.

This is a great thought-provoking book. As I was reading the book, I had to remind myself that it was written in the late 1800s.

I have a copy of this book just sitting on the shelf waiting to be read.....*sigh*.....so many books.....so little time.....

Read it a few years ago. Can't say I loved it, but it left an impression. I can still recall the feeling of dread the book invoked when the picture was unveiled at the end.

I started reading it a few months ago and haven't finish it yet... I think I'll manage to finish on winter holidays

Oh, sorry Marija. Hope I haven't spoiled it for you. Mind, it was quite a few years ago that I read it and my recall may not be very accurate so it's probably safe to ignore what I said.

Nevermind Sam. My teacher spoiled enough... X)

I think this is such a timeless book, think it is a shame it often gets overlooked on lists of classics :~)

I'm having such a hard time finishing this book. It's driving me insane.
I mean I know it's a classic and it's a really brilliant book. I'm a huge fan of Oscar Wilde, but for the life of me can not figure out why this story bothers me so.

This book I have no strong feelings about. I liked it well enough, but didn't keep it.
