The story has a great premise, though -- all the great fictional characters of the 1800's pull together on a team to save the world.D.A.

They don't have to be happy, but a good ending for me should have hope for the characters. If there's no hope, I feel like I wasted my time with the book or the movie.Edie Ramerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17084144940233965447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6584765175134352180.post-5636401689915491732009-03-24T09:00:00.000-05:002009-03-24T09:00:00.000-05:00I won't be reading this one.

It is a very charming book, but I still just can't get over the ending. As I read, all throughout, I just kept wondering how Mr. Wilde would tie out the portrait. Would Dorian be redeemed? Would Lord Henry discover the truth? These open-for-interpretation endings always get the better of me. Oh well, I guess it allows us each to use our imaginations. As smart as Lord Henry is, I'm going to assume that he does indeed piece things together and realize the truth. What do you think happens?D.A.

You are also right on target with the ending but I read the book first and then saw the old film both of which are among my favorites.David Cranmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04749857752139212888noreply@blogger.com
