I do enjoy retellings and this, a retelling of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde from the point of view of the maid, Mary Reilly, was quite good. However, as this book was actually longer than the original story, I did feel that it dragged a little bit. I liked Mary and I liked how her opinion gave you a different view on the original story, but not enough happened to make this a truly great book.
