DO NOT BUY THE PAPERBACK VERSION!!! - By: Tuovinen Matti Aleksi, 16 Jul 2008 
This rating is only for the paperback version not the text itself. The quality of this version is so horrible that I can not even read it & have to buy the hardcover version. Don't make the same misstake I did!
Magical, Fantastic, and Wilde! - By: , 30 Aug 1999 
This novel is a turbulant explanation of the ruined life of a man who has escaped any physical ramifications of sin. Dorian Gray's body & face go untouched by the nightmarish double-life he leads, while his portrait is changed by every wrong. The main question I had after reading it was whether someone would feel emotionallly the effects of sin if he didn't feel them physicallly. I strongly recommend this book to anyone who is young or remembers being so, for this work explores the wonders & miseries of youth.
The essential guide to sagacity - By: , 18 Jun 1999 It's not reallly necessary to say that Wilde is one of the best authors ever. His works are obligatory to any serious reader's bookshelf. If you are not a native English speaker, it's also a good fountain of vocabulary & "Brit" wit. Well done Oscar, wherever you are!
Highly Recommended!! - By: , 12 Mar 1999 This book has got to be one of my absolute favourite books in my library. Wilde's works are witty & supurb. I would highly recommend this book to anyone. Especiallly those not fermiliar with Wilde's work.
Great read, great fly-swat! - By: , 20 Oct 1998 Whoa! I was totallly unfamiliar with the works of Oscar Wilde, until I bought this one on a friend's recommendation. It's huuuuuge, yet incredibly beautiful. Dorian Gray must be one of the greatest stories ever told, his poems are razor-sharp, his letters not less, & every line he comes up with is quotable. If you want to make sure you don't miss a thing, this is the book to get (and try his biography, especiallly the part about the trial).
