  I think this book was so famous in it's time because no one knew the ending, 'cause once you know the twist the whole story becames kinda meh.

What a brilliant story. 

This is a tale that is well known by many, and also somewhat polarizing about a lawyer and his friend Dr. Jekyll and the mysterious and unusual events that happen around him, often dealing with a man named Mr. Hyde. This story details the events and investigation into them. 

I wasn't so sure I was completely sold on this at first, but once I reached the end I realized the brilliance of it all. I loved the philosophy and really thought-provoking nature of this book and the suspense was excellent. 

This is definitely one I plan on revisiting in the future.

Eccellente romanzo breve, un classico senza tempo che esplora con una certa sottintesa dolcezza la dualità dell'animo umano e l'eterno conflitto tra bene e male.

Sebbene conoscessi il punto principale della trama, ovvero che
Mr. Hyde fosse il doppio malvagio del dottor Jackyll
, la vicenda è raccontata in modo incredibilmente avvincente. A tale coinvolgimento contribuisce anche un coprotagonista, il polveroso avvocato Utterson, che oltre a risultare subito simpatico e quasi goffo nel suo destreggiarsi tra gli eventi singolari di cui si compone la vicenda è un eccellente esempio di quell'umana grigezza morale che
Jackyll ripugnerà con il suo esperimento di separazione
.

"Lo strano caso del dottor Jackyll e di Mr Hyde" è dunque un testo che consiglio vivamente a tutti, soprattutto per l'incredibile forza con cui riesce a trasmettere, in poco più di un centinaio di pagine, l'enigma morale che affligge ogni esistenza umana.
