This was crazy. I really enjoyed the concept and the visual decline of Dorian’s character as the novel progresses. It was difficult to try to understand the themes/morals of the time for me (i.e. aestheticism) and there was the huge chapter in the middle of Dorian pursuing hobbies that was way too long and detailed…. But those weren’t huge factors for the enjoyment of the book

Kitap Lord Henry’nin bazen dahice bazen de inanılmaz sığ düşünceleri dışında benim için monoton, bazen de sıkıcı ilerliyordu. Ancak!!! İlk önce Sibyl’in, şimdi de James Vane’in ölümü beni epeyce şaşırttı. Kitabın bu yönde ilerlemeyeceğini düşünüyordum. Farklı yönlere gider sanıyordum. Şu anda ilgim 10 katına falan çıktı fakat malesef geriye sadece son 10-20 sayfa kaldı. İyi bir son bekliyorum Oscar, güveniyorum sana

I don't know why I always assumed Dorian Gray was the top of this bad influence pyramid scheme, I'd not heard much about Lord Henry before reading. I thought I was gonna be turned off by the philosophical discussions, but it was just banger line after banger line whether or not it was an actually insane thing to say. Only one snooze fest chapter, where is was just 'heres the history of jewels and embroidery and shit'. Kinda miss when characters who symbolize something came with a name to match (Vane wants to kill Dorian, are you kidding me?).
Graphic: Death, Drug use, Gun violence, Blood, Murder, Toxic friendship, and Classism

I’m not even sure how I feel about this book. I really liked the concept, and the entire story feels like a painting—there’s something mysterious and captivating about it.
