One of the most horrific depictions of the human potential for evil ever written. In Stevenson's famous supernatural story of good versus evil, meet the well-intentioned, wealthy physician Dr. Jekyll. As he drinks the potion that is the culmination of his research, he unleashes the dark side of his nature, turning into the hideous Mr. Hyde. At first fascinated by the potential for human transformation that his discovery has wrought, Dr. Jekyll becomes increasingly alarmed as he realizes that Hyde is out of control. Hyde roams the streets of London, increasingly maniacal-and homicidal. Dr. Jekyll tries-with increasing desperation-to stop taking the drug, but its addictive power has him fully in its grasp. Stevenson graphically portrays how a good man and a brilliant scientist is slowly but inevitably overwhelmed by the powers unleashed by his own morbid experiments.

    Snapping into a different character. I mean I become possessed. I have no control. It is as if I am someone else. Oh my. That's it. I have a split personality. Spooky. Really eerie.

  • You get to look for your own Mr. Hyde

    Although everyone knows the story, so there is really no surprise in the plot itself, reading this short book is a very interesting experience. The suspense grows page after page, together with the interior conflict of every man.

    I really liked this book, although this story is very famous I had never read it. In my opinion, it is very interesting because the book shows the conflict between good and evil. I recommend it! I got it at Abbacus, very cheap!

  • The story is so well known that one wouldn't expect to be surprised and thrilled by reading it (and not for the first time either). But it still has an awesome "kick".
