The Picture of Dorian Gray is about a beautiful young man who is talked into wishing that his beauty and youth never fade as gets older. When his wish comes true he abadones all morality since he doesn't have to deal with the visual consequences. Oscar Wilde writes a very descriptive(although wordy)and thought provaking story questioning ones beliefs of morality, compassion and self-control.

Most of us had read this book in high school. . . and were glad to revisit it as adults because of our current perspectives.

Oscar Wilde writes very well. Found parts of the book confusing. Off topic at times for me. I spent extra time looking up meanings of a few words that were unfamiliar. New for me.
the book club discussion was very good and went on for an hour,

Classic tale with still relevant wisdom and humor.
