I love this book, I enjoy the presentation of the duplicity of man and how curiosity for the intellect and science can lead people to push the boundaries of ethics and morals.
It is a nice story, I expected it to be a bit more.... deeper... but it's a pretty old book, it has not that many pages and I guess I expected that because there are so many movies and stuff about it. It is a bit sad to read if you already know the plot twist at the end, which is hard not to know, since it is for all people who didn't know before, standing on the back of almost every edition....
But, I think it is a good books. Before reading it one should not have too great expectations, since this book is more about telling something, that is happening in the story, instead of focusing on explaining everything scientifically.
The bottle Imp, another book included in this edition is also pretty nice. I think both, (Jekyll and Hyde and The Bottle Imp) do not have that moral and deeper meaning. But they are nice stories. And no precious time for nothing, since the book has only 111 pages, which is read in a very short amount of time^^

BANGER ‼️. Idk why people don’t enjoy this book it was so good. Love a book that comments on the duality of human nature and whether or not we’re naturally inclined to either good or evil.
Kinda hard to read since it uses old language, but otherwise interesting

A tensive & mysterious classic!
I was vaguely familiar with the story, but had never actually read the book. It drew me in immediately and did a fantastic job at building the tension throughout.
The book is classed as horror, I would instead categorise it as a thriller.

This is one of the influences for the Hulk and Bruce Banner. It is a really interesting concept, and I love these kinds of flawed characters, who transform into something violent and angry. Well, in the case of Mr. Hyde, not necessarily angry, but more like evil. Another similar fictional character is Remus Lupin and his werewolf form. I think of these characters as having a hidden inner violence, or evilness, or anger. It's mostly uncontrollable, and their regular senses are gone. It makes for great inner conflict.
