Book Review: The Picture Of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde


                                           
"The painter stared in amazement. It was so unlike Dorian to speak like that. What had happened to him? Was Lord Henry's evil influence already at work? "
Our Thoughts...
This book has been around for a while now, and is recognized as a classic. I enjoyed reading it, although it isn't the best book I have read. I recommend it to mature readers, who are not content with a 'fairy tale' plot. It has a bit of history in it as well, as it takes place in 19th century London. 

I don't want to give away too much, but it is basically about the main character, Dorian Gray, a fashionable young man who sells his soul for eternal youth and beauty. There is a deep moral behind this book. It will give you alot to think about! You will learn how the right kind of company can make or break you. This book has also been turned into a movie, staring Ben Barnes! So after reading this book, the movie will make a great treat.

There are 2 copies of this in the NCC Library! Hurry up, you dont want to miss out on this great novel!
