I liked Stephen Fry's narration. It was abridged and it did feel a little choppy, but it was a nice way to re-read it for book club. It's a great story and so many of the lines attributed to Wilde came from this book that I wonder if he really did believe as Henry did, or if it was just a character. I would have liked more internals from Dorian and Henry and even Basil, but I do love the ending.
