The portrait of Dorian Gray

I finished the book last night and I must say that I loved it. It was well written and I could see everything very clearly in my imagination. I could see the pain of Dorian. The only thing that bothered me was that the phrases were long, too long sometimes. For the rest I have no comments at all on the book. I wonder why it was such a scandalous book at the time it came out. I guess it has to do with the time the people lived in. I am really looking forward to see the Oliver Parker film about the book now. I have to wait a while for that, but that is fine with me. I am sure he does a good job with this one. This book became one of my favorites and I am sure that I read it again. Now I read the Dutch version and I am looking forward to read it in the original language too. Most of the times that is even better than a translation as the meaning of the author doesn't get lost. I hope it arrives soon.
