Summary: Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde-one of a kind
Review: Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is one of a kind. I could not get very interested in the book because I am not in to science fiction novels. Another reason I did not enjoy it is because it was kind of scary with all of the killilng and evil. It did have a plot that could keep a readers attention, but it was too evil to keep it very long. Personally I did not take very well to the fact that that the evil side was brought out in such a good man. I do not recommend reading Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde unless you enjoy mystery and science fiction.

Summary: Dr.Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
Review: Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde was a wonderful book. It expressed how the string of good and evil are attached, and how different people express themselves in different ways. I think that Dr. Jekyll released all his negitive energy through Hyde so that he would not be know as a evil person. this book made me realize that I dont need to keep negitive feelings bottled up inside because it only leads to bad things in the end and you do not get anything good out of it. Every person needs to read this book. It will give you a sense of adventure and let you explore into the life of scientist and science. I would definately recommend it to anyone interested in the supernatural.

Summary: Dr. Jekell and Mr. Hyde
Review: Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde was an awesome book. It was so awesome because it was so visual. What I mean by this is that all through the book, even though the characters in the novel were not able to describe him, it was written in a way that I was able to picture Hyde's face. I could just see his ugly face.
Also, the idea of someone who is able to change themselves completey by just drinking a potion is an awesome concept(although the change was not what Dr. Jekyll wanted). I also enjoy the fact that the main character kills himself in the end. That doesn't happen in most stoies and it gave this story a great twist.
I wouldn't change a thing about this book and would reccommend to any reader Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.

Summary: The Greatest Review in History
Review: Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde was an good book. It wasn't a great book because I thought that telling the story through someone else's, Mr. Utterson, who wasn't really part of the story except for being Jekyll's lawer. I am not sure that I liked the way the novel was organized. It skipped from place to place and was moderately difficult to follow. Even though the plot was scattered around I enjoyed the thought of a man having two separate lives. I also enjoyed the violence. I am a violence type of guy. I enjoy violent killing sprees. The trampling that Mr. Hyde did to the little girl made me want to read more. Things like that caught me by surprise. All in all it was a great novel. I recommend this novel to anyone who hasn't read it before.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Short yet ongoing
Review: Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde was not at all long as I had thougt it would have been. Although it did give a sort of linguring essence. To me it wrapped me into the story by telling of glimpses of Mr. Hyde. How he trampled the girl and killed Sir Danvers Carew. It had me intwined with the profound doctor by day and the evil, luciritive monster by night. Just knowing in the beginning that there was something out there that was cruel enough to kill a poor girl and have no actions toward it but to "pay" the family for what it had done is cazy. And the middle of the story brings you further into it because you don't know what is going on with Dr. Henry Jekyll. All you know is that there is something seriously wrong with him. And the end, well it wasn't the best. It just gave the answer to the "problem" of Jekyll and Hyde by mere letter. I mean it could have been something more.
Although I am pretty sure everyone has heard of the story of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, how it was the potion that transformed Jekyll into Hyde. I mean who doesn't know the story? But as Stevenson wrote "evil consists not in action but in character" and to me that quote symbolizes the theme of the book. It wasn't entirely Jekylls faught (him making the potion was) but it was his "split personality" Hyde.
Robert Louise Stevenson captured the views of his time in this great and very respected book The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.

Summary: Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde: A Book Worth Reading
Review: Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde was the book of the century. It was a novel that did a great job dealing with the good versus evil controversy that is within all of us. The character of Mr. Hyde showed that even someone as good as Dr. Jekyll had a side that wasn't perfect. The characters had to struggle through the times of the Victorian period when people were very opinionated and were a lot like the people of society today. Everyone has another side to them and Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde can help you find that side. I highly recommend reading this great novel. It can help you deal with the good versus evil that is within you.

Rating: 4 stars
