The concept is pretty frightening but the execution has truly not aged well into the days of modern horror.

I really wish this book didn’t make me wanna Jekyill myself.

An absolute atrocity, it’s not my vibe, not in the slightest, but regardless of my personal tastes in literature, this was simply a bad narrative.

It’s a little fortnight squad of grown ass men that were besties then stopped being besties. However, the main character feels the need to probe his way into Jekyl’s life when he explicitly doesn’t want him to.

His only inkling that something is wrong comes from his prejudice against the disabled and deformed Hyde “not being right”.

A shit show from start to finish. It was only 100 pages, but I wanted it to be less than less. I think this story should only be told orally through summary.

Very old style of prose (obviously expected as it was written in 1886!) which sometimes made it a bit unclear as to what was actually happening. Knowing the story helped get the gist of things. It was interesting to read the original story and to see the points of difference between its various iterations.
