Just completed reading this book, and I liked it. I really loved the Sybil Vane character. She seems very nice and kind, but it’s too bad that she fell in love with the protagonist, who is actually very cruel.
I struggled to understand some sentences, especially those from Lord Henry, and there’s a chapter that’s kind of crazy and explains a lot of unnecessary details. I don’t know how it’s necessary for the plot.
There are some instances where I realized that a lot of modern movies might have taken inspiration from classics like this—like when he tries to cover the body of the painter, and the scene where Dorian goes to that shady place and gets confronted by Sybil Vane’s brother.
Finally, I liked it, but I felt a bit more drama would have been nice toward the ending.
