I love Oscar dearly but this was my least favorite thing he wrote. The concept? Amazing. But the execution felt like all the things I love about Wilde's other writings had been a bit watered down. I am due for a reread, though, so this is all subject to change!

If I could make everyone read this book I would.

I also love Basil and never thought I would relate to a a 200 year old man so much.
