Book Review - The Picture of Dorian Gray

Post by Rosalyn Riddle »

Hello! This is my post for the 'Bah Humbook' challenge!


Past Book-

-Title of the book: The Picture of Dorian Gray

-Authors: Oscar Wilde

-Genres: Gothic Horror

-Short summary of the story: About a man who wants his youth to last forever, and ends up wishing for that, which puts his soul into a painting, and he does a lot of bad things and ruins a lot of people, before finally becoming fed up and attempting to destroy the painting.

-Good points / bad points: I thought it was pretty good, a bit hard to read but overall better than it could have been. I liked the sensory detail, as well as the horror elements.
