Unfortunately this is the kind of book that loses all its appeal once you know the main spoiler, and it’s been part of pop culture for so long that everybody knows. Unlike Dracula, Frankenstein and other gothic classics, the whole of Jekyll and Hyde rests on who they are. I don’t feel like I learned anything y reading this book except how to write a long worded letter when you’re supposed to be in distress…
I suggest reading a graphic novel version instead, to at least get an entertaining visual.
