Great concept for a good classic. Less boring than many of the other classics I've read. I audiobooked it right before audiobooking The Three Musketeers. It is boring at points but good as a background on a road trip. I don't recall much, but I remember it being enjoyable

Would have been such a good read if it wasn't so iconic. The entire plot resolves in discovering Dr. Jekyll is actually his mysterious friend, Mr. Hyde; who knew?
Stevenson and his idea of morality is intriguing to me though.

Nie miałam pojęcia o istnieniu tego tytułu do czasu przeczytania "Rilli ze Złotego Brzegu", gdzie Doktorem Jekyllem, albo panem Hydem nazywano kota. Historia mnie zaintrygowała - słuchałam jej w audio i było czuć taki mroczny klimat, który bardzo do niej pasował.

Wonderfully Gothic, with interesting psychological implications, but seems a little thin on rereading (not just in length).
