Cori June (3033 KP) rated Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde and Other Tales in Books
Dec 3, 2018
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.
