Book Reviews of Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde (Signet Classics)
Book Review: A book that has stood the test of time
Summary: 4 Stars
Who hasn't heard of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde? Whether it be in Newspaper reports of daily conversation, references to these two characters ensure that nearly everyone in the English speaking world has at least heard of this story. The number of people, who have read the book, is much less however and until recently I wasn't among them.Having read the book, I cannot recommend it strongly enough. Stevenson deals with the dual nature of `man' and his (or her) battle within himself. The plot is quite simple and it may have been this simplicity that gave the story its popularity. It could also have been Stevenson's skillful usage of the English language, which makes reading this book such a pleasure.
The only bad thing about this book is its brevity. Do yourself a favor and read it.

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is a really good book. When you read this book you really have to pay close attention. I'm sure that won't be a problem. With everything that occurs in this book there's never a dull moment. I liked the idea of how Stevenson used one man, but transformed him into someone else. The mystery of finding Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is what I enjoyed. Mr. Utterson and Enfield thought there were two different people when there was only one. If your wanting to read a book that keeps you wandering and guessing, well this is the perfect book. I really enjoyed reading this book.Book Review: Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde Senior English Review Banks Co. Ga.
Summary: 4 Stars
This book was very suspenseful and interesting. At first I was alittle leary about the book and didn't think it would have much to offer to any student.But when i read it, it became apparent that it wasn't just about the addiction to opium but it was also gave moral and social values and was a very thrilling mystery. The characters kept you going throughout the book while trying to solve the so called "mystery". It was a book that you just didnt want to put down. I would reccomend this book to any high school senior english class.Book Review: Dr. jekyll and mr hyde
Summary: 4 Stars
I think the strange case of dr. jekyll and mr hyde is a great read. it is a mixture of a mystery novel with a horror novel. it shows you both sides of every human being, the evil side and the good side. also it being a short novel is a plus.you can read this book in no time. if i had more that two thumbs i would give them all up for this novel. robert louis stevenson did an awesome job with this one . i reccomend this novel strongly.
