Joaquin S.’s Reviews > Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde > Status Update

The book, through a dramatic twist concluded the case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. A letter explains exactly what happened written by one character that had the perspective of two. I thoroughly enjoyed this sort of 'So that's how it happened...' moment. The book ends up a multitude of thematic ideas including good vs. evil, friendship, lies, crime, mystery, and even more.

The story has taken a dramatic twist and flipped the speculation from one character to another, therefore hooking me further and I'm really enjoying it. mMystery is still one of the major things but the book is starting to create an almost sinister atmosphere as well.

We have been shown more of Mr. Hyde's character through mr. Utterson's curiousity of him and the way he is inspecting him keeps developing that crime theme I talked about earlier; to add to that, Mr. Utterson is a lawyer. I'm really enjoying how the story is beginning to unravel, therefore telling us more about the characters.

So far, the author has done very well at showing the setting and introducing an interesting exposition using very descriptive words and lots of imagery. I can't yet comment on the plot of the book as I'm not far enough yet to make anything plausible, however, it has done an excellent job at hooking me with the tale of Mr. Utterson's encounter with Mr. Hyde. I can definitely see a theme doing with crime developing.
