Dr. Jekyll "Mr. Hyde" (London) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (Great Illustrated Classics (Abdo)) (Library Binding)

Obviously, the whiney little brat above has little or no grasp of the storyline of this timeless Robert Louis Stephenson classic.
The illustrations in this book vividly bring to life the era in which this story is set- from the austere grandeur of London's buildings to incidental Victoriana such as top hats and decorative walking canes.

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (Great Illustrated Classics (Abdo)) (Library Binding)

I didn't really like The Strange Case of Dr.Jekyll and Mr.Hyde. Sometimes you didn't know ho was talking a lot of the time. Also you would get lost most of the time.


The story was about a doctor who makes chemicals. Dr.Henry Jekyll thinks that a guy has two different personalities. One side of him kills people and the other side of him is nice. Then Dr. Jekyll started taking the special drink as Mr. Hyde drink to make him evil. Finally runs out of the drink and dies.


The type of reader that should read this book, are people who don't like exciting stories. The story would be good for littler kids around the age of 7 or 8. That's what I think about this story.

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (Great Illustrated Classics (Abdo)) (Library Binding)

I read The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde it is a mystery book and your always wondering what's going to happen next. What will happen when Utterson is woken up at 3 a.m. by his servant saying there is a cop down stairs and he finds out that one of his colleagues have been murdered by Mr. Hyde? This is the Illustrated Classics version of the novel. I'm sure they took out parts of it and made the words bigger. The Illustrated Classics Edition is a lot easier.
The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is about a person name Mr. Hyde who's filled with evil and hatred. Utterson trying to figure out whom he is. Where he came from, and why he's Jekyll's heir. When he starts to find out is it too much for him? Will Hyde take over Jekyll? Read this book and you will find out.
I would recommend this book to some one who likes mystery books.
