An excellent book that lives up to expectations. The fragmented style and somewhat obscurant prose fit it perfectly. IMO it’s about the id and ego but the gay interpretation is really funny too.

Not knowing this format or point of view of this story, I was initially surprised that this wasn't told for Jekyll's point of view as has been portrayed in other media of this story.

Honestly, a little boring compared to what I was expecting but still really interesting to see where this story came from and to see how it's been expanded upon so much.
