Publisher Summary
 

When we are happy, we are always good, says Lord Henry, but when we are good, we are not always happy. Lord Henry's lazy, clever words lead the young Dorian Gray into a world where it is better to be beautiful than to be good; a world where anything can be forgiven - even murder - if it can make people laugh at a dinner party.

An Oxford Bookworms Library reader for learners of English, adapted from the Oscar Wilde original by Jill Nevile.

Review by Katie from Lake Forest, IL | 5/23/2011

The dated style of prose makes it a slow read, but the story is a classic. Knowing that Oscar Wilde was struggling with his sexuality adds an element that gives depth to the conflict.

Review by Carol from Millburn, NJ | 5/22/2011

I found much of this difficult to read in this day and age, especially the epigramatic dialog but the rest was very good. Not my first time and would recommend as an important classic to read.

Review by Drucilla | 5/20/2011

This novel isn't as well known as Dracula or Frankenstein but it is just as good. In some ways, it is darker than those two as well.
