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.

“If I am the chief of sinners, I am the chief of sufferers also.”
this is a good book to read on halloween bc, even tho not that terrifying and pretty fast paced it is an interesting mystery and if you do not know the main spoiler (which is hard considering it is a classic) you'll enjoy it even more
i was listening to ain't no rest for the wicked by cage the elephant & burning pile by mother mother while writing this review
'kay, i'm out
