Title: Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
Author: Robert Louis Stevenson
Published: 1886
Language: English
Pages: 75
Rating: 4/5
Summary:
Torn between good and evil, this is the story of Dr. Henry Jekyll who is pushing the boundaries of human nature...
Review:
I really enjoyed this book, and I'm really happy I finally read it. I really liked the mystery of the story, and I liked that it was short and concise. It's sort of split into two parts in a way; the mystery of the murder filling most of the book, and then the personal story of Dr. Jekyll filling the ending. I thought that it suited the story well.
The theme of man being dragged between his good and evil sides is very fascinating. I really liked the part where Jekyll reflects upon this.
The thing that lowers my rating of this, and what lowered my enjoyment, was it's fame. You know what's going to happen, so there aren't really many surprises.
Definitely worth reading though.
