About this audiobook
Dorian Gray, a young man of wealth and stature in late 1800's London, meets Lord Henry Wotton while posing for a portrait by his friend Basil Hallward. Once the painting is complete, Dorian realizes that it will always be young and attractive, while he will be forced to age and wither with the years. Carelessly, he wishes the opposite were true. What happens is a treatise on morals, self-indulgence and how crucial personal responsibility is towards one's self. (Summary by John Gonzalez)

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5in response to the review above.. holly, you need to touch grass. i hope you find a way to let go of your very clear prejudice one day because your personal homophobia and lack of knowledge regarding both this novel and the author is not a reason to rate a highly revered piece of work with 1 star.

- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5I did not realize this book has a very obvious homosexual tint to it. Upon researching the book I found it was originally written in much more explicitly. Though it apparently has been toned down there is no mistaking the intent of the book.....not what I expected for a Victorian era book.
