The Strange Case of Dr. Jeckyl & Mr. Hyde has been eyeing me from my TBR pile for quite some time now. It's been patiently waiting for me to choose it over the stacks and stacks of other choices. The reason it's always been the bride's maid and never the bride is because it falls into that unsavory ...

Thanks to Jeffrey's recent DJ&MH review series (which includes Mary Reilly and Hyde in addition to the original), I realized that I had not, in fact, ever become acquainted with Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde as Robert Louis Stevenson wrote them. Actually, the closest I'd come was seeing Dr. Jekyll & Mrs. ...

I only read The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, not the other "Tales of Terror", but I couldn't find another listing I liked for it with a cover. I've never read this book, but I've always been aware of the storyline. Though most of the adaptations amp up the "horror" part of the story wh...

“I have made my choice, have lived my poems, and, though youth is gone in wasted days, I have found the lover's crown of myrtle better than the poet's crown of bays.”Well, that was a nice read. But I was looking for something more than that!! Anyway, it was fun. I have to say that I loved Oscar Wild...

Goodreads could really benefit from a half-star rating. This is more of a three and a half star book.

It's Jeckyll and Hyde, so even though I just read it for the first time, I don't know how to rate it all clouded with expectation as I was.This is an okay book; brief and clearly written with an original premise. Had I read this fresh and new with no knowledge of the plot, however, I don't imagine I...

We were asked to read this for my senior year in high school, and all I can say is that it's a good thing I went to that high school because "The Picture of Dorian Gray" is an amazing book. I've heard numerous recommendations of this classic novel even before I started reading it for school, but sti...

"The sitter is merely the accident, the occasion. It is not he who is revealed by the painter; it is rather the painter who, on the coloured canvas, reveals himself. The reason I will not exhibit this picture is that I am afraid that I have shown in it the secret of my own soul."And so begins this t...

I enjoyed it, despite the ornate/period language, but it was much shorter than I thought it would be. A classic well worth reading.
