Beware the Narcissist

This year I’ve really been feasting on Gothic classics so I was super excited to see this book now included in Audible Plus.

The narrator is very good. And sounded a lot like Dan Stevens who narrates Frankenstein.

Dorian’s mood swings, rash temper and inconstancy reminded me of Angel Clare in Tess of the D’Urbervilles. Women and lovers should steer clear of men like these.

Perfect story, perfectly read.

The narrator perfectly embodies to tone of the novel.
The time flew listening to this great story. To me it is the right mix of description and pace.
