would recommend - .5⭐️
would read again -
pleasantly surprised by the ending even though i thought i knew what was going to happen.
this was the first time i’ve listened to an audiobook and i found myself getting really distracted and needing to repeat parts, but the narration itself was fine.

This novella is really funny and no one talks about that element, but I really enjoyed that. The story was also compelling and interesting. However, it is a Victorian novella and therefore there is a lot of ableism, and alignment of 'undesirable' facial features/body descriptions, that were use to show 'evilness,' so that tampered my enjoyment of it.

I listened to this on a long car ride. I really enjoyed it. I know Dr. Jeckyll needed to be a chemist to make his potion but it would make a lot of sense if he were a politician or businessman.
