Reviews with content warning for Body horror - The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde

Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde is a perfect short science-fiction based story. The novel was a perfectly fine read which I enjoyed, but nothing jumps out to make it an amazing read.

I listened to this on a long car ride. I really enjoyed it. I know Dr. Jeckyll needed to be a chemist to make his potion but it would make a lot of sense if he were a politician or businessman.

It's interesting to read this through a modern lens when everyone already knows the twist. I can see how shaken the audience of the day would have felt! The book is spookier and creepier than I thought it would be.

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.
