This book was good and not what I was expecting. I really liked the references on art of all forms, from paintings to theaters, to Lord Henry’s poetic way of talking. The beginning and ending was really good. The middle unfortunately was slow, especially chapter 11. It was just a long chapter (maybe the longest in the book) that described all of Dorian Gray’s obsessions. It was interesting to read about the various Kings and rulers, or the history and myths about each precious stone and gem he collected, it was just very detailed. This might be a re-read for me during the Halloween holidays.
