What a brilliant story.
This is a tale that is well known by many, and also somewhat polarizing about a lawyer and his friend Dr. Jekyll and the mysterious and unusual events that happen around him, often dealing with a man named Mr. Hyde. This story details the events and investigation into them.
I wasn't so sure I was completely sold on this at first, but once I reached the end I realized the brilliance of it all. I loved the philosophy and really thought-provoking nature of this book and the suspense was excellent.
This is definitely one I plan on revisiting in the future.

In the beginning, I found absolutely no enjoyment in this book. However, as I grew accustomed to the writing style, I actually fell in the love with the prose. Especially the last chapter, Jekyll's account, was beautifully written. This part specifically brought up some interesting moral questions.

The word "faggot" is used once, though I'm not sure in which sense.ggcd1981's review against another edition

The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde é terror/ficção científica gótico. Cada vez mais me convenço de que terror gótico é um dos meus sub-generos preferidos. Tive um pouco de dificuldade com o inglês da obra original, porém não foi empecilho para desfrutar essa obra. Durante toda a história a atmosfera é sombria e intrigante. Todo o tempo se percebe que a história caminha para um final sombrio, as perguntas são "qual" e "como". Gostaria de ter lido sem saber nada sobre a história, infelizmente já era familiar com a resposta ao "grande" mistério da obra. Mesmo assim a atmosfera sombria e a história em si me mantiveram interessada, mesmo sabendo a resposta. Sem dúvida, até este momento, uma das melhores novelas que li. Daria 4.5 estrelas, mas como goodreads no momento não me permite terei que dar 4 estrelas, pois 5 reservo para obras que tem um significado mais profundo para mim.
