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.

Read for class. Interesting book, dealing with the thought that there are two sides to all of us and the desire to be one. We fight against are destructive side, but in the end it seems to be what prevails, as suggested by the book. What I liked most was how it highlights the destructive effect of expectations and how that plays into reputation, which is essential for being set in the Victorian period.

i feel like

ending the book on that final sentence of Jekyll's letter and not pulling back out to Utterson's POV to see his reaction or what people said of the case after is a really effective choice. it makes the darkness of Jekyll ending his life after that whole ordeal land really well.
