Stevenson is a marvellous writer he has a very unique way of explaining his tales.
Overall this book is a 3.25/5!
Dr Jekyll and Mr. Hyde 3.5/5
Very original tale yet it got tedious in the end.
The Merry Men 2/5 I can’t say this is a just rating because I was perplexed half of the time by one of the characters accents.
Markheim 5/5 I am enamoured by this tale it felt like it was going on for years yet such a fast read.
Thrawn Janet 2.5/5 like The Merry Men I wish I understood Scottish dictionary.
Ollala 4/5 I can’t say much but this was so beautifully written it ensnared me.
Will O’ the Mill 4/5 I loved every bit of it.
The treasure of Franchard 2.5/5 tedious and quite boring but I rated it higher for the authors writing style.

Dr. Jekyll/ Mr. Hyde - an interesting read, its fun to read the story after knowing so much about it via cultural osmosis.
The Body Snatcher - not gonna lie thought it was gonna be the other kind of body snatchers, the steal and inhabit your skin type, interesting to see the story and how much historical context it providea
The Bottle Imp - fun concept, I think I might have seen it before or an iteration of it, ending was a little too convenient but hey what can you do
Markheim - short and sweet and lol at someone saying fuck you to Satan
Weir of Hermiston - stopped reading after chapter 4 and finding out it was an incomplete work and just read wiki summary instead, couldnt get into it and the accented dialogue made it really hard to follow.
