Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson
5.0
This little novella is so different.
In my option this is one of the best "beginners" classics.
Its short, its fast paced, its different, its strange but interesting and keeps you reading and because it is so very short you get through it very fast even if you don't enjoy something about this book you will be able to finish it!
I do think that Stevenson took a very easy way out in the end with Hyde and the entire reveal of the entire thing but its still a great read.
I have read this a handful of times -even if goodreads only shows it as a second re-read- over the years.
And even though i know what is happening and how it is going to happen, i am still ALWAYS surprised how the story is told.
I have no idea why i always expect Jekyll to be the one telling the story - i KNOW he's not! but i still expect it every time. I might need help of some kind!
Go read this book and enjoy it its fast reading quirkiness!
