I am studying this for school. I will raise my rating to five stars if I get an A on the exam. Deal?

PS: The exam is tomorrow and I don't think this rating will be going anywhere :)

Wow.. Towards the end of the story... It was trippy. I wish I hadn't spoiled myself before picking this up, it kinda reduce the experience of reading. But nonetheless, i'm still impressed by how a particular theme in this book was explored. Had this been longer than 100 pages, i think i'd rate it higher. Finally I can understan all the jekyll and hyde references that are all over media.

In the beginning, I found absolutely no enjoyment in this book. However, as I grew accustomed to the writing style, I actually fell in the love with the prose. Especially the last chapter, Jekyll's account, was beautifully written. This part specifically brought up some interesting moral questions.

The word "faggot" is used once, though I'm not sure in which sense.
