Book Reviews of Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde (Signet Classics)
Book Review: It's a classic, even though you probably know the story...
Summary: 3 Stars
Most people already know the general plot, so I will skip a plot summary, If you're in school and this is manditory reading, I would say "that's fine, have fun with it" Otherwise Stevenson's storytelling style is outdated compared to even some of the books from his time, and if you know the story of Jekyll and Hyde, there's really no surprise factor to look forward to. It's always going to be a classic, and the duality of humanity (good and evil) in many ways is explored for the first time, and that is a theme that will live forever and keep this story a classic. But if you could read anything you want, I would look elsewhere, storytelling has evolved thanks to classic authors like Stevenson paving the road for more complex stories and adventures.Book Review: Jekyll and Hyde
Summary: 3 Stars
The novel Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde was not that intersting to me. It however was great in making you think of how often a person lets their emotions get the better of them. If a person wants to read a book that gives insite of the strugle one person went through with their good and evil side then this is the book to read. However if you want a book that flows great and can be understood at first glance than you might want to think twice about this book. I recomend this book only because it is so widely known and it gives a good account of ones stugle between a person they should be and the person the would like to be.Book Review: good book or bad book to read
Summary: 3 Stars
Dr.Jeckle and Mr Hide is a very complikated book so if you dont like complicated
books then it is not a book for you, i didnt like it but it was a pleasent book to read.
on a scale to one to ten i would say it was a seven. It is about a sientistthat drinks a potion and turns into a beast. Because he thinks it will turn him in a superhero.
If you have seen the league of extrordinary gentlemen, he is the man that turns
into the giant beast.That is all i can tell you i dont wont to spoil anything for you so i hop i like the book if you read it.

Summary: 3 Stars
Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is an excellent read. It is very short and takes no time to read cover to cover, so you never have to stop at a nail biting part. It is a mystery and a horror. Stevenson did an awsome job with this novel. It shows how people have a good side and a bad side and how people can enjoy doing evil. All people have evil thoughts but Dr. Jekyll found a way to use his thoughts instead of keeping them in. The novel also shows how evil can take over our lives. I highly recommend the reading of this novel.Book Review: A classic reading experience
Summary: 3 Stars
All my life I have heared and seen movies about Dracula, Frankenstein and Dr. Jekell and Mr. Hyde. Normally I don't read horror/ science fiction, but I was curious about these three and decided to find out how these literary characters attained such long lasting lives. The time spent reading was worth it. It was an entertaining cultural experience. I'll leave it to the experts to try to tell you why they are classics. I do not know, but if you are always short on time like I am, my preference is lisred above.
