Book ReviewThis is an illustrated version of the classic novel by Wilde. Dorian Gray is one of the most wealthy bachelors. When artist Basil Hallward completed a portrait of the young man, Dorian laments on how unfair it is that he will age and his portrait will remain ever young. He wishes to stay young forever, which to his surprise it comes true. Dorian continues to live young but his portrait ages over time and illustrates the true horror of Dorian’s sins.
