“I didn’t say I liked it, Harry. I said it fascinated me. There is a great difference.”

And the Picture Of Dorian Grey Fascinated me indeed.
Was it as great as I hoped, no. Did I like it? Not really. Did come away from this with a flurry of quotes and new insight, yes absolutely. 

Did it deep drive into philosophical motives of men in this class and time period, the reflection of your inner soul, and both the debate of external beauty vs internal corruption, absolutely. 

This book brought into a modern context in a much longer novel along with a deeper insight into the varying characters and their lives is a book I would love to get behind.
