The whole concept of the book was unique and eye-opening. An interesting take about youth, beauty, and vanity through the lenses of art. Some parts was quite slow paced and dragged on at times but Oscar Wilde's prose are beautifully written and also thought- provoking. Lord Henry has one of the best lines but the moment he starts talking about women I literally roll my eyes and say "shut up." 

Basil and Sibyl has my heart (🥹🫶🏻) and Dorian Gray you would’ve loved american psycho.
