danielle_henry_6987 shared a tip "Interesting book. Somehow I didn’t read it in high school but knew the general idea of what it was about. Glad I checked it off my TBR list but don’t think I will reread it."

ell_903 shared a tip "I am rarely able to stay interested in a book that has (extremely) unlikable characters. But Oscar Wilde has a way of making beautiful language make up for terrible people"

rachel_dehaan shared a tip "Yes. Oscar Wilde is witty and pessimistic, but in a way that challenges the way most people think. I find his work entertaining and thought provoking"

linda_bowles shared a tip "Hi Amy. I didn’t actually recommend this book. It has been made into movies and Oscar Wilde wrote a lot of short stories and stage plays. If you like biographies his story is profound. He was gay and imprisoned and made an example of when being a homosexual was illegal in the UK."

marlene_7055 shared a tip "This book was way better than I expected it's 70 pages but it makes the most out of them it picks up really quickly into the supernatural elements but it still keeps a real comment on the times throughout"

daniel_huerta_3841 shared a tip "I love many things about this book, like the beautiful detail, the slow and sudden urges, the bitterness, and the odd ending. Alan Campbell's part of the story really is the apex and it really makes you wonder "what did he do?". Great book, it is also a banned book in its time, you can see why as one main character is a pessimist, paradoxical, and non-religious man which would have been a serious issue in the time of publication. There's also some possible homosexual moments inbetween."

jenny_j shared a tip "I honestly haven't read any of his other works but he is on my To-Read List for sure. If you like any of his other works, please recommend my next read for him! :)"

reecespuffs shared a tip "Loved the writing, got a bit boring in the middle, but nice read. I aspire to be able to write like this. Portrayal of selfishness and cruelty is a new thing of me to read and I enjoyed it."

elise_reyes shared a tip "Im honestly not sure yet, I havent read any other books by him. But if all his books are on this philosophical wave then Ig so lol"

sierra_burgin shared a tip "This is a wonderful book and is fun yet creepy to watch the protagonist as his moral values degrade overtime. I love this book and have read it several times."

katie_daisy shared a tip "This has been one of my favorite books for a very long time, and I just reread it recently and wow! It's so great please do read."

alex_milligan shared a tip "Hi! My favorite book is Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein ☺️ and then Dorian Gray after that. I haven’t read them in a while though, might have to read them again!"

nicole_hyaty shared a tip "It was a short and mostly easy read. Some parts dragged on in the middle but for the most part I was always enthralled with the story and the creativity behind it. If I hadn't borrowered the book from the library I would've highlighted the enormous amount of poetic and relevant quotes that are said throughout it."

denisha_oliveras shared a tip "This book took a turn I wasn’t expecting. It was a slow read at first, but when the plot thickened I couldn’t put it down. I definitely recommend!"

bookybookitybook shared a tip "I loved the way this book ended because in my opinion any other ending would not have been satisfying. It’s a classic careful what you wish for tale. Definitely a good read #psychological #classics"
