For me, I was underwhelmed by this book. The plot is fairly slow, and the conclusion wasn't that exciting for me. Also, the true reason behind the actions of Dr. Jekyll is left unanswered. Other than that, I don't understand why he enjoyed being Mr. Hyde. Just because he had more energy and was able to do bad things? Furthermore, another question that needs answers is: What will Dr. Jekyll's friends do now that they know what he did? Will they still try to save his good name or not? 

Overall, one can read this book; it is entertaining, but you also won't miss much if you don't.
