A good classic. Although it might not be what you consider to be a particular "thrilling" book I was always tempted to just keep going.
It makes you think. But only if you want to.

A perfectly accurate adaption of the original novella. A good read to introduce the source material to younger readers who may be put off by the 'antiquated' language of the original. A fast read, and I enjoyed the art of Daniel Ferren. A bit simple and perhaps too fast for a tense mystery, but still fun.

The biggest spoiler of the book is the one everyone knows, but I still enjoy reading gothic classics immensely, and this has an interesting conversation on the nature of good and evil and the shades of grey people are.
