I keep my expectations pretty low when it comes to Victorian literature… it’s not my favourite. I usually find the characters incredibly shallow. So I was surprised when I ended up mostly enjoying this (though the women in the story still felt very shallow; I’m sure glad the majority of the book wasn’t romance). Lord Henry’s dialogue was always entertaining to read. The storyline was very dark and… Shakespearean tragedy-esque. Not bad.
