This story of a doctor who splits off his dark side with a potion might have been much more impressive in its psychology of duality when published in 1886. The novella kept me reading from start to finish, without really moving me--the story is kept at one remove until it's last few chapters by bein...
I guess there are spoilers but I feel like everyone on earth pretty much knows what happens. This was surprisingly unnerving, considering that I knew the essential story line, but perhaps that was what made it so suspenseful. I knew Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde were one and the same, but none of the char...
Wonderful story, although the verbose language made this one slightly harder to get through. Although Scott Brick is one of my favorite narrators, I would have chosen a British narrator for this one. Thought provoking ideas - are we both good and evil in the same body?
Behold: the regal and mystery that is The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde, if only I found it regaling and mysterious. A notable classic whose references still hold widely popular, the mystery has been stripped away—even for someone such as myself, who has never watched a film adaption. I am, ...
Rating: 5 of 5 What can be said about a classic such as The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde?

I actually remember encountering the gothic tale in one of my favorite childhood movies "The Pagemaster". Nee...
A brilliant inspiration. Horrible execution. A bit of advice to people; read this on a gloomy rainy day or if you like classics. Read if you fancy but everything went downhill in the last 2 chapters. You've been warned.
"With every day, and from both sides of my intelligence, the moral and the intellectual, I thus drew steadily nearer to the truth, by whose partial discovery I have been doomed to such a dreadful shipwreck: that man is not truly one, but truly two." - Robert Louis Stevenson, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyded...
Having not read this book for years, it's been a great book to rediscover, the tale of Dr. Jekyll and his new acquaintance Mr Hyde a repulsive almost neanderthal looking man who is never fully described.Learning the story through letters from Jekyll's lawyer Utterson, his friend Dr Lanyon and finall...
