Well I'm so pleased I finished as I said I don't read classics and have always read modern version of these stories.

Same I was determined to finish it unfortunately it was worse then I was expecting for me.

I can totally see why, even though it really worked for me. I hope your next read is a better one for you :)

Right now I think it's rather boring, I hope it picks up at some ..."

These rambling are turning me off. Too much and all of it feels pointless.

Right! This is why I am trying to read this....slowly...

Ch 2 (view spoiler)[I feel bad for the artist here. All that work to be scorned upon?! (hide spoiler)]

[Jamie]

Ch 4 (view spoiler)[One minute he is falling in love, the next engaged! Lol, that was fast! But maybe not for back then... I am less sure about relationships for that time period. (hide spoiler)]

I was wondering when things would finally move along. It took way too long!

Finished
(view spoiler)[What a fitting end. Cowardly but fitting. (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 1
(view spoiler)[ Omg these people are so sassy haha From what I have gathered, Oscar Wilde himself was much the same. I love that he put that into his characters while discussing the artist putting himself into his art. (hide spoiler)]

[Ashley W]

Chapter 2
(view spoiler)[ Dorian is so dramatic! Sir Henry is just pushing him more. I feel bad for Basil. He tells Sir Henry how important Dorian is to him, and Henry just seems to flirt and then Dorian gets so upset with him. (hide spoiler)]

[Ashley W]

Chapter 4
(view spoiler)[ I love their commentary on Americans. I want to not think it's funny, but it really is. (hide spoiler)]

[Ashley W]

Chapter 5
(view spoiler)[ There have been so many quotes that I know I have heard before and never realized they were in this book, like "People know the price of everything and the value of nothing. " There have been several others. I wish I had read this sooner. (hide spoiler)]

[Ashley W]

Chapter 7
(view spoiler)[ Wow. That was harsh! Dorian is cruel and I get that he is attractive, but he is so mean to people. (hide spoiler)]

[Ashley W]

Chapter 8
(view spoiler)[ At least he feels bad to learn she is dead. Sir Henry is being so awful about this poor dead girl. Dorian may be entirely different without these friends. (hide spoiler)]

[Ashley W]

Chapter 10
(view spoiler)[ The painting sounds kind of gross at this point. Like not just aging, but decaying, which I wasn't expecting. (hide spoiler)]

[Ashley W]

Chapter 11
(view spoiler)[ Glad his behavior is finally catching up to him, even just socially. I'm not surprised his reputation has spread so much. (hide spoiler)]

[Ashley W]

Chapter 14
(view spoiler)[ Everyone is turning on Dorian now. I was hoping at some point he would do something redeeming. I guess there is still time, but so far he just uses people. (hide spoiler)]

[Ashley W]

Chapter 18
(view spoiler)[ It is amazing how much Dorian can victimize himself with all this. Like the way he treats people is a result of a painting after he was awful to the painter. (hide spoiler)]

[Ashley W]

Finished
(view spoiler)[ It seemed that Dorian was finally beginning to learn then he kills himself. I think that may be the saddest part of the story, despite all the other deaths. (hide spoiler)]

[Eesh]

Hey, I was really looking forward to reading this book but I don't think that's gonna happen this month. I've fallen behind on my reading and I have a bunch of ARCs to get through. So I'm focus on those. Sorry 😞
