About this listen
The beautiful young Dorian Gray has his portrait painted by society artist Basil Hallward. Admired by all, the dazzling, wealthy, handsome young man has everything anyone could wish for, or so it appears. Oscar Wilde's novel is a masterly study of moral corruption, a tour-de-force of suspense and surprise.

Wonderful performance of a dark classic
A wonderful performance by Michael Sheen of a classic story. Oscar Wilde’s writing and imagination are extraordinary. Fabulous to spend time with two great talents through this audiobook. One to treasure.

More from Michael Sheen!
Michael Sheen's performance is fantastic, and his voice is very easy to listen to. Well varied character voices and he did the story justice. Great listen!

Great narration, keeps it interesting
The narration is great but there are missing parts compared to the printed book. It’s an interesting story.

First listen, amazing
The Picture of Dorian Gray is probably my all-time favourite novel, so I got this as my first audiobook. An allegorical tale sown with reflections on the nature of intellect, beauty and sin, spun with clever, clever words against the living background of Victorian London. And it's brilliantly performed by Michael Sheen. What's not to love? (I only wish there was an unabridged version.)

Superb narration!
I had already read The Picture of Dorian Gray a couple of times, and it's a book I'm rather fond of. The abridged version is well done, without any major gaps that would make the story hard to follow.
But I mostly bought this specific audiobook for the narrator - I love Michael Sheen's voice and his flawless, effortless versatility. I had high expectations, and they were surpassed - Michael Sheen's narration is absolutely superb.
The only negative thing I have to say would be that the book is too short - I would love a full, unabridged version, so I could enjoy the narration for a while longer!

Better to be talked about!
Michael Sheen has such a wealth of talent that really shines here. He gives si h life to each and every character and really makes this a joy to listen to. The plot moves at a reasonable pace and has such a creepy ending that really hits you after getting so attached to such vibrant characters. Wilde's creative encapsulation of unique and strong personalities is at it's best here. Loved everything about this except the lack of chapters but still worth a purchase.

You won't regret it.
Awesome. The narrator is spectacular. I wish the book was longer to keep listening to it. When I read the book I found it a bit boring. But the audiobook is fascinating.

Very well done
Michael Sheen read this book so well. The characters were all distinctly different and well voiced.
I truly thought that hearing it was better than watching any film adaption.
