A review by godotwillseeyounow
The Body Snatcher by Robert Louis Stevenson
3.0
I bought it a while ago because the edition looked pretty, it was cheap, and I knew the author, but I didn't actually go into reading it until a few months later, and here's the reason why: I read it on the train on my way to Edinburgh. I think that explains everything.
I needed something to set the theme to the city and what better than Stevenson's The body snatcher. It's a quick read and it has the perfect gloomy sense to it with a dark twist at the end. It just made me like Edinburgh more.
About the book: I feel like my judgement might be clouded by the city and its history so I'm going to hold back for now from doing an actual review of the book. Anyhow, I'm going to go ahead anyway and say it is a very enjoyable read (especially when reading it out loud with a dark tone and all) and a great way to dive into Stevenson's world. Next stop: Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.
