Review ebook The Picture of Dorian Gray: A Graphic Novel
“If it were only the other way! If it were I who was to be always young, and the picture that was to grow old! For that-for that-I would give everything! Yes, there is nothing in the whole world I would not give! I would give my soul for that!” A couple of years ago at the MET I picked up a copy of this book featuring some of Oscar Wilde’s best quotes. I threw it out (sorry, Mom!) after marring it with my unnecessary scribblings, but based on the quotes it had from this book, I decided I’d gi “If it were only the other way!

One afternoon, Lord Henry Wotton visited his friend Basil and met his muse Dorian Gray, a physical paragon. After a long lecture from Harry about the importance of youth and beauty, Dorian’s ego inflated. Basil painted a portrait of him and Dorian was enamoured with it. So much in fact that he unknowingly sold his soul for it.
Of course, the painting didn’t retain the same beauty, but I’m not going to spoil it for anyone who hasn’t read it.
This was definitely the most quotable book I’ve come across. There aren’t many characters, but they’re all witty. The ending was so unpredictable and satisfying! There wasn’t a moment where I didn’t enjoy reading this. So far my favourite book of the year.
(As a side note, I didn’t read the graphic novel. My edition just bore the same cover.) …more
