It was quite a surprise to me that it didn’t Start with Henry jekyll having an idea to rid the world of evil but that it was revealed at the end. I Also adore hyde for being who he is, idk I just adored the confession/last chapter.

Good but took me a LOT of effort to get invested, also this is a weird retelling rather than the original text whoops. Might read original at some point.

It's a classic but such a good one! I could've never guessed how it turned out and how it ended. Really blew my mind. A must read for everyone.

Do you want to read a book full of mystery and split personality, if so then Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde Is the book for you. It takes place in 1846 England. If you want to have the nostalgia and the pure raw emotion of reading an old English novel then find this book and enjoy.

The main character in this masterpiece, is quite the character to fall in love with. You get to see Dr. Jekyll's evolution throughout the book. And you get to understand his problems with the main antagonist, Mr. Hyde. It is quite the thriller.

I like the old English style of writing, because it really brings you down to the roots of the story. Hearing and reading the old English really shows how the story was meant to be read

An interesting mystery/suspense book. It is written in the early 19th century style and language which I enjoy as a change from the 21st century style of writing. It certainly holds the reader's interest and mixes entertainment with morality and ethics. I enjoyed it and can see why it has stood the test of time.

This is a retelling of The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. It was the exact version of the text I studied in secondary school. As I read it back then, I found the narrative dry and unenjoyable. I am currently reading the original version by Robert Louis Stevenson and I really enjoy it so far. Looking forward to finish reading it.

I really enjoyed it, but it was pretty boring until the end. oh well still a great classic!

The real deal doesn't quite live up to the cultural perception of the story. But it was still quite enjoyable, if in a rather more laid back way. Reminds me quite a bit of Frankenstein.

Drinking chemicals makes you someone else with different behavior!!!
I think a young boy could imagine better than the writer

Good and bad are both in the same person . You allow the bad to flourish and it will conquer you , destroy you. So, don't explore the bad side of yours. Peace.
