Title: Washed-up re-tread
Review: Justin Scott may well have been suffering writer's block or was washed ashore on one of the most lamebrained ideas this century. Why re-write Stevenson's story, which is a true classic?!? Scott sticks close enough to the plot which may cause many a reader to ask the question, "WHY BOTHER?". Mr. Scott may claim that the story has a timeless quality, but I beg to differ. One of the most endearing quality of the original story by Stevenson is the fact that the story was written about a time before the age of electricity, before exotic islands such as is the setting for the story could become tourist traps. So, what's in Nathan Scott's future? I'm afraid that the Jekyll & Hyde tale has been re-done too many times by now. But then, there is the EBB-TIDE...
