The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde é terror/ficção científica gótico. Cada vez mais me convenço de que terror gótico é um dos meus sub-generos preferidos. Tive um pouco de dificuldade com o inglês da obra original, porém não foi empecilho para desfrutar essa obra. Durante toda a história a atmosfera é sombria e intrigante. Todo o tempo se percebe que a história caminha para um final sombrio, as perguntas são "qual" e "como". Gostaria de ter lido sem saber nada sobre a história, infelizmente já era familiar com a resposta ao "grande" mistério da obra. Mesmo assim a atmosfera sombria e a história em si me mantiveram interessada, mesmo sabendo a resposta. Sem dúvida, até este momento, uma das melhores novelas que li. Daria 4.5 estrelas, mas como goodreads no momento não me permite terei que dar 4 estrelas, pois 5 reservo para obras que tem um significado mais profundo para mim.
