Title: Forget the movie, read the book!
Review: Something strange is going on with Dr. Jekyll. He is letting a new friend, Mr. Hyde, take over his life, and his friends don't like it. They try to warn him that Mr. Hyde is dangerous, but Dr. Jekyll won't listen. Only after Dr. Jekyll and a friend die tragically, does anyone learn the horrifying truth.If you've seen any of the movies or the recent stage musical, please forget them when reading this book. It is ten times better. While most of the suspense of the book, what is Dr. Jekyll's relationship to Mr. Hyde, has been ruined since the book first came out, that is no reason to skip the book. I was surprised to find this book is really an allegory about the struggle between good and evil in each of us. This novella is easy to read, but gets very powerful in the last section, Dr. Jekyll's account of the case.This is one classic that everyone should read. Don't hesitate.
