This book is to be read slowly to really ponder over the thought provoking remarks mentioned throughout the book. As the main character Dorian says, "I don't say I like the book, I say it is an engrossing book" This book affects a reader one way or the other...

Wow is all I have to say about The Picture of Dorian Gray. I didn't think I would like this book and I was pleasantly surprised with this book. This is the first book I have ever read by Oscar Wilde.

La primera vez que lo leí, hace ya algunos años no me había parecido ni bueno ni malo, en realidad sólo recordaba la historia en general, pero no los detalles. También lo había leído en español, y creo que la traducción estaba no tan bien hecha.

Surprisingly quick read. Seemed somehow to resonate with what I'm studying these days, though I'm not quite sure how. I must admit that I find the dialogue of Lord Henry Wotton a bit pseudo-filosofic, and not incredibly deep. Phenomenally well written, though. The sympathy of the ruined people in Mr. Grey's wake doesn't really strike you, as you never really knew them before.
