I was hesitant because Iâm not a horror reader, but this book did a good job of being gothic without having unnecessary gore or uncomfortable scenes.Â
The characters were so well done, especially Dorian.
I love how the message of the book is stated subtly at the beginning with Lord Henry saying the world needed a ânew hedonismâ. Then the plot gives Dorian that new hedonism, but he comes to realize that it doesnât satisfy and only leaves him miserable.Â

It is certainly a product of its time, with several sexist comments and some antisemitic portrayals. Readers should be aware of this before beginning to read
