Oh how I loved this novel. "Down London Road" was a dark read. It dealt with emotional abuse, physical abuse, self doubts and other dark topics that many authors can't seem to write about (at least not in a realistic manner). I found myself in love with the characters. Cam was an Alpha-dog Asshole, who was a teddy bear when needed. Jo was a strong woman who once she realized she had worth I loved.

I loved seeing the struggle between the characters. I loved that this novel was realistic on the emotional front. We all have the insecurities that Jo felt or that Cam felt. I think that Samantha Young did an amazing job at making us care about the characters in her book.

I didn't think that she could write another novel as spectacular as "On Dublin Street" but I was wrong.

I shain't think to make anyone suffer the presence of Mr. Hyde let alone my friend Dr. Jekyll. Although, not a direct quote, I can clearly hear Mr. Utterson saying this phrase.
Remember: this book was made in the 1800s and set in London words don't always mean what you think they do. My edition (1994) uses a word or two that could get someone expelled if they say it in schools today.
Had I not read this before as a preteen/teen I don't think I would have enjoyed this book as much. I think that this book is great for ages 10-15 (not that adults couldn't enjoy it). As a pre/teen it invoked deep thought; as an adult I think... it's a nice story. Still, I am quite impressed in a book (of less than 100 pages not withstanding) that was written in six days.
