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.

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.

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.

Title: Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
Author: Robert L Stevenson

This book is about a lawyer who suspects that something is wrong with his dear friend Dr.Jekyll after his cousin tells him about "the blackmail house" and how that door leads into Jekyll's house. His cousin also tells him about the horrid man and the child he saw earlier that night. Also the will that Jekyll wrote to Lanyon (his lawyer) does not make any since to him. This is a great book for all ages. I liked this book because it keeps you interested in the plot (in which I won't reveal any more of). It made me feel happy to finally reach the end. It is one of those books that will keep you wondering through the whole thing. Have fun reading this!!!

I hated this book because it was long and boring and hard to follow. People just popped up in the story and it didn't explained who they were. It is 389 pages of nothing. Also the story ended with Jekyll saying goodbye.

The story was about a friend of Dr. Jekyll named Mr. Utterson. He wants to know more about a really mysterous man named Mr. Hyde. Hyde is really ugly and really mean.
Mr. Utterson thinks Mr. Hyde murdered Dr. Jekyll because Hyde has all of Jekyll's stuff and money. Mr. Utterson wants know how he knows Jekyll.

The Grerat Illustrated Classics are made easier but I'm in seveth grade. This is so easy a second greader could read this book. The only reason way I read this book because I wanted to read a scary story for Halloween but this was not a scary story it was just long and boring.

The pictures have masked this classic.

Please read the original... I fell asleep half way through this book.
