The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson(34 of 1294)



This was another book that I've read where you think that you know the story, despite never reading the book.  Although I can't ever recall watching the movie, so maybe it's knowing the book from the expression.  A good man who drinks a potion and becomes evil, roaming the streets causing trouble.  By unleashing the other side of his personality, Dr. Hyde creates a monster that he is unable to control.

It was a quick and interesting book to read, with an interesting "good vs evil" story.  I can't help having a feeling that the story doesn't hold up quite as well as it did at one point.  That's why I rated it a little bit lower, but it definitely is a worthwhile short book to read.

My rating: 4 stars
