Hi everyone! Can you believe today is the last day of April? My brain can’t comprehend that! On this lovely Monday (it’s finally sunny ☀ and warm!!) I’m going to be posting my review of Robert Louis Stevenson’s novel Dr.Jekyll & Mr. Hyde.

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and other Short Stories by: Robert Louis Stevenson: When it is reported that Mr. Hyde has trampled a girl, lawyer Mr. Utterson goes out to investigate; finding out that Mr. Hyde knows his close friend Dr. Jekyll, things become ever more suspicious. No one has ever seen Hyde and Jekyll together, except Mr. Lanyon, and the suspicions continue. This story was very well written and is a really great piece of writing; it’s fast paced, with so much happening in such a short amount of time. The characters were monstrous and fun to read; they were definitely executed well. As for the other short stories in this volume, which include: The Body Snatcher, Markheim, The Bottle Imp, and The Weir of Hermiston, they were also told very well. Stevenson has a knack for storytelling and the way he tells a story is so captivating, even though his endings are a bit abrupt, this helps his unfinished work, The Weir of Hermiston, fit in with all the others. His characters are really thought out throughout all his works of art, but when he tries to write them with accents, he loses his reader because it gets really hard to understand and the writing doesn’t flow anymore. His writing is creepy, yet done in a way where it’s not completely scary. This collection of works is definitely something worth reading as part of the Gothic era-style writing.
