I had a lot of expectations for this book, but in the end I feel like it had a lot more to do with its concept than it ever delivered on. I was expecting it to go a very different way. It touches on very interesting subjects in my opinion, but never quite expands upon then as much as I hoped.

my main problem with this book is the ending -- if you dont know that jekyll and hyde are the same then it would be great but because it is COMMON knowledge at this point, its jind of annoying to just have it all explained in an expositional letter

that being said, extra points for homoeroticism and commentary on good and evil
