This book was amazing because I loved the whole plot and how the author adds suspense and thriller. This novel is about a man called Dr. Jekyll who conducts an experiment which creates a split personality in him. The themes good vs evil…

The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson is one of the most captivating and fascinating novels I've ever read. Even though it is a little bit creepy, it is tough to put this gripping thriller down. The plot is…

Although I’d obviously heard of Jekyll and Hyde I had never read the story until I read and LOVED a certain retelling of it. I found the themes of duality and self preservation interesting and there were horror and mystery elements that…

The story varies from some of the productions I have seen on stage. This is a quick read and entertaining.

This book is sorely over appreciated. The only reason it exists is to present it's philosophical ideas. This book shouldn't be a story, it would make more sense as a philosophy lecture, and I think RLS realized that because the last…

I enjoyed this book and would recommend it to anyone over the age of 13. Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde seem to be two different people; one is a well-respected, kind doctor and the other is a cold-hearted sadistic individual. Everyone hears…

The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde shows the mystery between two people who have completely different personas. Dr. Jekyll is a very kind and generous doctor. Mr. Hyde is a mean and spiteful person who has a quick temper. It is…

Robert Louis Stevenson is a master of books from Treasure Island to The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. He makes the whole story a mystery so fascinating it's hard to not flip to the back of the book. Jekyll represents the fear…

This was a fantastic read! It was one of those books that gives you a chill down your spine. It was wonderfully well written, though if you don't like creepy books then you probably would not like this. I, however love terrifying books,…

For all the hype surrounding this book, I was severely disappointed. I would not recommend this book to a friend. That being said, the story itself was very interesting and I can't say that I exactly regret having read this book. 3/5

At the time of publication, THE STRANGE CASE OF DR. JEKYLL AND MR. HYDE received instant acclaim by breaching the topic of split personalities, a subject unfamiliar to most of the population at the time. He plays with themes of human…

The beginning was solid, but the build up was just sort of dropped at the end.

The title character, who is a virtuous doctor by day and a delinquent by night, struggles to hide his double identity from the world. Yet he is more than that — far from the Multiple Personality Disorder presented in movies like Split,…

So far this year I've read three major works of Gothic literature, Dracula, Island of Doctor Moreau, and now, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. I've discovered this is some of my favorite literature, and I'm excited to explore…

The unfortunate thing about reading a well-known classic is already knowing what the "gotcha" element is, which, when finally revealed in the text, ends up being rather anti-climactic. I enjoyed the story well enough, but one can't help…

I don't know how many other people are bothered by this, but it's extremely annoying for me and they never tell me on the site when I look. So I thought I would let anyone know who wants to know before they get this book. It's has…

For its level of fame, this book is short. Just because it's a quick read, however, doesn't mean it's shallow. No, indeed! I had never fully read Jekyll and Hyde, so the story was somewhat new to me. I found it to be the most…

My friend Loves this book so I wanted to read it. Knowing it's a classic even made me want to read it more. I decided to use an audio. Following along I loved how it was written and the story it self. It's a nice little read of only taking…

Did not expect to enjoy it as much as I did. The concept is fantastic, and something I would like to explore myself (as in write about not create a potion). Can't wait to read Stevenson's other short stories. As classics go, the…
