It's a strange case indeed but was an entertaining read, I'd say. It's not super long, so there really isn't much plot other than the main character, who is a lawyer and knows Jekyll, finding out what happened to his friend. It's a classic that is fairly easy go read and it didn't take long at all to get through. Would recommend if you're looking for a quick read and a classic.

Well narrated, I liked the prose. points docked for being a generally ablest mess. I can condemn the past, and you know what? I think I will.

I had a lot of expectations for this book, but in the end I feel like it had a lot more to do with its concept than it ever delivered on. I was expecting it to go a very different way. It touches on very interesting subjects in my opinion, but never quite expands upon then as much as I hoped.

I honestly hated this. I thought it would be a fun read for October, but it did nothing but bore my every time I tried to read. It also turned out to be a poorly executed concept which was really disappointing for how classic the story is.
