joyceandbooks's review against another edition

The one thing that held me back was the prose. I’m sure many consider it elegant and artful, but Wilde’s writing style, with its flowery words and long-winded sentences, was too ornate for me. I also never cared much for the dialogue. I know people find Henry Wotton clever, but he was just a contrarian who never lived up to his ideals. Nevertheless I’m glad I pushed through, because the plot was fascinating enough. Dorian Gray’s plunge towards hedonism and moral degredation was interesting despite lacking depth.

I hate how long this took me to finish since i’m horrible with audiobooks. I did enjoy it, and it was very interesting to listen to.

I liked the plot of this, but it was incredibly slow. I enjoyed the writing style the most - very artistic, although there were some parts that were too drawn out. The end was satisfying. Overall, an interesting plot, just slow.

Realmente creo que nunca voy a poder superar este libro, con todos los dramas, amoríos, argumentos filosóficos y su pizca de misterio.
Es tan romanticista, que ni yo en mis peores momentos.
