Can be a bit of a tough read as it was clearly written a long long, LONG time ago. So it can get confusing with the speech. However, if you can power through it, it’s a decent read.

2015 Reading Challengue #10: A mistery or thriller

En todo el tiempo que tengo leyendo había llegado a la conclusión de que no soy persona de clásicos, pues casi todos los que había leído no me gustaban para nada o me aburrían hasta la médula. El Extraño Caso del Dr. Jekyll y Mr. Hyde fue la excepción.

Primeramente es un libro muy corto y a diferencia de la mayoría de los clásicos es bastante ligero de leer, yo me tomé aproximadamente unas cinco horas en terminarlo entre ayer y hoy. Los capítulos son cortos y tienen una pizca de misterio en cada uno que te deja con intriga y con ganas de leer el siguiente.

La historia no me sorprendió pues ya yo sabía de qué iba, sin embargo, me encontraba atraída a llegar hasta el final y descubrir qué era lo que pasaba. La manera de narrar la historia me gustó bastante y definitivamente me gustó mucho la manera de escribir de Stevenson.

Un libro lleno de misterio e intriga que, aunque corto, vale la pena.

This was a great story to listen to on audiobook. Even though it's a classic and you know the basics, it still felt mysterious and scary.

I enjoyed the plot, but didn't care for the book, and that's just my personal struggle with reading older writing styles. I don't think I'd struggle through it again, but I enjoyed finally knowing the true story.

A rereading of this timeless classic reminds me of how TV and movies twist the tale into a much shorter time frame, and generally portray Hyde as quite large - he was in fact a dwarf.

Penny Dreadful'a devam edebilirim en sonunda. Değişik bir eser. Simya izleri görüyorum. Geyiği bir kenara bırakırsak, id, ego, süperego çatışmasını gayet iyi koymamış mı ortaya. Hepimizin içinde bir Hyde var dostlar. Aman siz siz olun egonuza sahip çıkın.
