Someone said the appeal of this book is contingent on the twist, which we all know of (because of the phrase). I agree to some extent, but I truly enjoyed the writing and the tragedy surrounding the twist in the first place. Short book, fun read.

Je pense que je passerais ma vie a me demander pourquoi Mr Utterson disparaît des adaptations alors qu'il est si incroyable. J'aime tellement ce point de vue extérieur qui nous emmène à la recherche de la vérité (un vrai livre policier finalement).
Bref, je me demande à quoi ressemble de lire cette nouvelle/ce court roman quand on ne connaît pas la fin (ce qui me semble rare au XXIeme siècle) mais j'aurais adoré.
Conclusion : c'est un texte assez court mais qui ne traite bien de ses sujets. Les mystères sont bien amenés, les personnages sont tout de même assez construits. Les descriptions sont très intéressantes et évidemment, de même pour les questions d'humanité qui sont évoquées à la fin.
Rapide et efficace, que demander de plus ?

Finally got around to reading this classic on my shelf and was surprised at how much I enjoyed it. The framing of the story is interesting--through the eyes of a neighbor and friend we see the downfall of Jekyll/Hyde. Excellent commentary on drugs use, addiction, capitalism, etc.
