5.0

I didn't read the tags on this book going into it, so I didn't know it was a horror book! The main horror event was quite unexpected but I had a really great time reading it. Wilde's writing is quite flowery at some points, both in a good way and a bad way, but I thoroughly enjoyed reading The Picture of Dorian Gray, and it makes me want to read more classics.
