The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (Abridged) Audiobook

" More novella than novel, the pervasive idea of the duality of people in society is spread throughout the book, but the text itself (much like the science described - or not described, as the case may be) is vague, light, and dated. "

" Amazing and full of suspence. Mr.Utterson plays a great role in the whole series and investions. And the shock about the reality of Dr.Jekyll and Mr.Hyde is OMG, and got almost a mini-heart attack like OMG is this really possibe? But over all a great series. "

" I liked the experiment, and the creation of Mr. Hyde, it was rally interesting. I think we all have a Mr. Hyde inside of us, or a Dr. Jekyll, depending of the side we want to show to the world. "

" Well what i think about this book is that its a interesting book its like a mystery or a puzzle you have to put together. Mr. hyde is the evilest person in the book he wants to take dr.jekylls life away from him but he really takes his life away hyde tries to commit so many crimes while being jekyll he stole posion to be jekyll and ruin his life this is a interesting book a lot of people should read this book. "

" Good story and a quick read. I gave it four stars because it feels overly didactic toward the end. But overall, a very worthwhile read that raises some important questions about human nature in narrative form. "

" Strikingly articulate language and a pleasingly famous piece. "

" Very good book, even if you know the plot. Great read for Halloween time! "

" Complex and creepy, which is, I am sure, the purpose of it. I was never a fan of the genre, but felt it was well done for those who do. "

" It ended too quickly.. left me longing for more! "

" Excellent! Tons of symbolism and fascinating comments to make about human nature and society, all eerily relevant to today. Read it! "

" A classic. Definitely worth the read. "

" An early and descriptive case of multiple personality disorder. Very interesting because of the historical moment when it was written "

" I needed something a bit dark to listen to in the car. This time of year when it is foggy and dreary I just want a story that matches the bleakness of the weather. This fit the bill! Great depth of character and great descriptions. I love how each character that comes in contact with Mr. Hyde just can't quite put their finger on it but they know that something is off; they feel the evil. I wonder what side of my nature would emerge it I took the potion? "

" I really liked the first account we hear of Mr. Hyde, and I thought more of such accounts should have been presented, because it was kind of tough to figure out what Mr. Hyde could possibly be doing on his excursions. I wanted to hear of the sick, twisted deeds and of the methods he used to execute them. I wanted to know what secret desires lurked within Jekyll, and maybe in the process see which secret desires I too held. I also kinda wished I didn't know exactly what was up from the get go, due to the dang old saturation of this story into our popular culture. Due to its quaint length, it was a good book to carry around with me during the night and read in Moroccan Coffee Shops and in the aftermath of sucky parties. And maybe the message was relevant too. "

" This just seems like a really long short story. It was alright. The story is just really slow and a little hard to follow at some points. Maybe I just wasn't reading it carefully enough. Either way, I have read it, and life moves on. "

" Well-written, great story - and short! "

" Quite a crazy story. I liked it because it was so bizarre. "

" The story of my life.... This edition features a fantastic introduction by Vladimir Nabokov--worth the price of admission in itself. "

" I had so much fun reading this book, because it was so interesting. This story is mysterious it makes you think twice and makes you want to continue reading nonstop just to figure out what is going to happen in the end! This story is mysterious and crime, and one of my favorite classic stories. I recommend whoever haven't read this book to read it! "

" This story has become so famous through adaptations, re-imagining etc, that you may think you already know it well. Let me recommend reading the original, the result of a master story teller dealing with subjects ahead of his time. "

" After waffling between 3 and 4 stars decided to go with the generous choice. How can you go wrong reading a selection that has spawned multiple renditions in film and print? Short and easy to read, it should be read at least once during one's lifetime. "

" Short and sweet. I imagine it would have been more gripping for someone who wasn't already familiar with the story through pop culture. But, it holds up pretty well and kept me interested once it got going. "

" Really interesting, though the final chapter got a bit long-winded for me. "

" Great book about the good and the bad that are in all of us! Worth reading! "

" If you're in the mood for some good Victorian melodrama, you can't go wrong with Robert Louis Stevenson. I'd particulary recommend "Thrawn Janet" and "Markheim." Spooky! "

" Good story and easy to read classic. The 1st part reads as a mystery while the latter part goes into the psychology of Dr. Jekyll's transformation and ultimate downfall. I enjoyed it and will be looking for my next "easy to read" classic. "

" Loved it! But, it tended to over-explain things, so at parts (as Dr. Jekyll's story), it became a bit boring. Other than that, it's a great view on psychology, and the battle between good and evil. "

" If you like Victorian Lit then i recommend this book. I didn't like the story much but enough to keep me reading to the end. It's about man's struggle between good and evil. "

" Good human nature vs. bad human nature. Or ego vs. id, if you prefer. Or perhaps it's frontal lobe vs. limbic system. Either way, this is the classic tale of being overcome by the darker side of one's human nature. "

" I'm a little on the fence about this book - on one hand I thought it had a great premice and a wonderful idea. On the other hand I just wish it would have been longer! Had it been longer, there would have been a greater mystery concerning the illustrious Mr. Hyde and we would have a better feeling of the evil of said person. I didn't really feel that Mr. Hyde was through and through evil, because I didn't really feel he was even a person. It was a little underdeveloped for my taste. "

" I liked and did not like the novel. I liked the novel because it was exciting, well written and sometimes scary. I did not like the novel, because it had very difficult and old English words.It was really hard to keep the excitement while I was reading, because of those words and they made it hard to understand what was happening. There is also a lot of creative writing ,because of that he wrote like two pages for one character description, which made it sometimes very boring and hard to remember what they were doing at that moment. I recommend this book for those who have a good English vocabulary or those who want to improve theirs. If you like mysterious books full of secrets ,I really recommend you this book. "

" Not so fun when you know the story, but cool in a different way. Its, like, the first scary story I've ever really read(so its going in my favorites b/c i actually enjoyed it). "

" Bob Stevenson created a story for eternity. "

" If you like Victorian Lit then i recommend this book. I didn't like the story much but enough to keep me reading to the end. It's about man's struggle between good and evil. "

" Wow, kind of a creepy book. We each have both good and bad within us. Which one do we play with more, and how will playing on one side effect the other, or our ability to see the other side. "

" A dark, foul piece of work that I did not enjoy. "

" the shilling shocker is priceless. "

" I had forgotten what an incredible read this was. I could not put it down once I'd started reding it again. I think I'm going to have to re-read a bunch of the classics to get the full punch of the story. I loved this. "

" Can't belive I newvwer read this before. Trying to read some of the classics with my Kindle and this was one of them that I read. A classic story of the good vs evil battle. "

" I actually just read the Sparknotes because I'm not smart enough to understand anything that hasn't been written in the last 25 years. Don't tell Mrs. Garner. "

" A classic tale of good vs evil and the duality of human nature. Dr Jekyll, a respectable man, concots a potion to separate the good and evil characteristics within himself. The evil side becomes Mr Hyde, a character without morals or reputation, free to engage in evil behavior without moral consequence. Hyde's evil personality eventually takes over, and Jekyll becomes unable to separate himself from Hyde. "

" I absolutely love this book! I had heard of it before, and, as everyone else I knew what the twist in the plot was. I thought it was beautifully written and I could barely put it down. "

" The twist in the end was the best part. It really did amaze me. "

" This was a good, quick read. In fact, I almost wish it had been longer, since there was plenty of material there for a longer book. "

" This is a really well-told tale, but unfortunately the awesome "aha" moment has already been spoiled by contemporary culture. "

" The original, in which the true identity of Mr. Hyde is unknown until the end of the book. "

" This book is a fabulous illustration of the duality of human nature and the evil that "hides" within us all! "

" Good but a little short. I can't help but think that if written today they would've embellished a bit more. "

" A superb novel, stunningly original "

" You get to look for your own Mr. Hyde. Although everyone knows the story, so there is really no surprise in the plot itself, reading this short book is a very interesting experience. The suspense grows page after page, together with the interior conflict of every man. "

" "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" isn't a book concerning the fight between good and evil, but a book concerning why a man chooses to be good or evil; criticizing Victorian England. "

" A great novel that centers around the notion of good and evil and the notion of people having both good and evil inside them and their choice on which side to act upon "

" Easily my most favorite book !! Amazing, haunting, fascinating, creepy - just an endless list of superlatives befit this one... "

" I understand that this was a groundbreaking book at the time, but its aesthetic and literary style does not really speak volumes to me. "

" If you're in the mood for some good Victorian melodrama, you can't go wrong with Robert Louis Stevenson. I'd particulary recommend "Thrawn Janet" and "Markheim." Spooky! "

" A classic can't go wrong here! "

" a great story read when i was 12 "

" Scary. Atmospheric. Much shorter than I expected, and with much less detail to the story than modern interpretations would suggest, which makes it perfect for adapting and extrapolating upon. "

" The Jekyll and Hyde story has been told and retold in many forms since it was written. When I came across this book in the free Kindle classics list, I was intrigued. Even though I knew the essence of the story, I had never actually read the original. I enjoyed this book very much. "

" Love, love, love this book!! "

" I really liked this story. This story made the author famous. Written in 1886. Is a psychological look at ehe duality of human nature. Is a good one to read twice because it can be confusing. "

" The story of Jekyll and Hyde has become such a staple of pop culture references and parodies that it pretty much ruined a lot of the tension in this book for me, having already known the ending. Having read this review, though, I kind of want try again someday. "

" So far I have read this twice but never found it easy to read. Perhaps I have not been able to digest the extreme duality of the same person. However it holds as a detective novel with a lot of drama into it. "

" Even though I knew the basic story, the suspense persisted to the end. The exploration of evil in humanity and our ability to contain it was fascinating, even enlightening. I think I'll read this one again. "

" Jekyll and Hyde is is a fascinating look at the war between the good and evil selves within each of us. There is much food for theological thought in this beautifully written short story! "

" A bit hard to understand, but if you stay focused, it's a great story! "

" Veramente qualcosa di incredibile. Lascia senza parole dalla prima all'ultima riga. Incredibilmente unico. "

" This is a good classic mystery/sci-fi read about the good and evil side of man. It was just a little bit difficult to follow at first but evolved quite nicely as it went. It's also a very short read. "

" "man is not truly one, but truly two" "

" The actual story is a bit different then the movies. That being said I got a little bored with the backwards detective story, since everyone knows the ending. IT was just not what I expected. "

" A really great story about the desperation of a man of finding a cure for a really strange illness. This story can make you creep out a lot. It has an incredibly plot, and an incredible way of showing that. "

" Lapsed into difficult articulation here and there but nonetheless astounding. "

" Shows the deepest part of a human's emotions. Wonderfully dark book. "

" This book was kind of interesting but I didn't like it that much, even though is a classic. I have to say that I get bored with the book, I get asleep and that kind of books I generally hate them but because of the plot I give it 2 stars...I really expect more of this book. "

" I like the correlation between Hyde's physical deformity and his depraved actions. "

" The first novel that I ever read in English .. "

" It absolutely amazes me that Stevenson, before the time of modern psychology and psychotherapy, could write such a remarkable account of the implications of intrapersonal duality. "

" Not the story we all know. Worth the quick read to set the story straight. Introspective. "

" Know and like the story but found the book hardgoing. "

" I had forgotten what an incredible read this was. I could not put it down once I'd started reding it again. I think I'm going to have to re-read a bunch of the classics to get the full punch of the story. I loved this. "

" Well, it probably would've been better had I not known that Dr. Jeckyl was Mr. Hyde. But how can someone hold in that spoiler for a century? People couldn't even hold in the Sixth Sense spoiler for a few months... "

" I loved this book, I was a little bit disappointed that it wasn't longer, but I suppose it's better to be left wanting more, than wearily trudging though a tediously long story :) "

" A lot of fantastic writing to analyse. Interesting story with so many different angles to interpret. "

" Love, love, love this book!! "

" "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" by Robert Louis Stevenson is a mystery novel. Originally meant to keep you wondering about who Mr. Hyde is. "

" It's hard to follow this type of writing style. "

" It was very cool! i love this book a lot! i read it all in 2 days. It was very creapy and strange. I think that robert did very good! i realy liked it! "

" I really enjoyed it-- engrossing and creative and a little creepy-- I actually wanted it to be longer. "

" I'm sorry, but I thought this book was simply stupid. But I'll try again with a closed mind. "

" What a good read! Loved the language.... should have read this years ago! "

" La pena de este libro es que todos llegamos conociendo su historia "

" Great book that exposes the internal fights between different interests. The mind has more than one "self". "

" A wonderful little novel, more like a novella really. It's classic SF at its best. It's well paced and an easy read. It's a little different than many of the Hollywood movies. "

" Strange but always worth reading "

" "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" isn't a book concerning the fight between good and evil, but a book concerning why a man chooses to be good or evil; criticizing Victorian England. "

" was the first book for the author to read ..one of my friends gave it for me and really was more than awesome!..like an enternal dialogue ..he had written the thoughts of many others and appear them in a very beautiful story .. "

" Can't belive I newvwer read this before. Trying to read some of the classics with my Kindle and this was one of them that I read. A classic story of the good vs evil battle. "

" Not too bad for a quick read. It holds you in like a good detective story, and has some psychological implications/lessons if you are into the self-awareness stuff. "

" The number of Looney Tunes episodes about it- I had to read it! Not quite as many green loony monsters in this book as in those episodes, but still a thrilling enough read! "

" A fun and short read. Not quite to my taste as such, as although explanation is given to the change in Jekyll/Hyde, it does border on the supernatural and that isn't something I'm particularly interested in. The writing itself is impeccable, and I enjoyed it for what it was. "

" Great classic horror novel. The use of the characters to talk about the duel nature of mankind is what makes it so resonant. Great book to read alongside "The Lucifer Effect." "

" It's hard to follow this type of writing style. "

" Sebuah mahakarya Robert Louis Stevenson yang telah diterjemahkan ke berbagai bahasa dan diadaptasi ke lebih 40 judul film yang diproduksi di berbagai belahan dunia. "

" Pretty good book for such an old book. Very well written and you really feel for Dr Jekyll as the story progresses. Check it for the nostalgia if anything. "

" fast, short read - almost like a long, short story "

" I expected more out of this story. "

" It's a fantastic book! The only problem is it's too short. "

" If you like Victorian Lit then i recommend this book. I didn't like the story much but enough to keep me reading to the end. It's about man's struggle between good and evil. "

" This story has become so famous through adaptations, re-imagining etc, that you may think you already know it well. Let me recommend reading the original, the result of a master story teller dealing with subjects ahead of his time. "

" I think I'm going to re-read it. It wasn't bad. But it definitely wasn't what I expected. I felt like the whole story could've been told in just the last chapter, as it was the most exciting to read. But that's just me. "

" Before i read the book I thought I knew the story of Jekyll and Hyde... how wrong I was. It's fantastic and so much more than expected. "

" It was ok but didn't captivate me "

" a nice story.& if you need a twist to it you should definitely watch Julia Robert's wonderful treatment of the story in the movie ''Mary Riley'' "

" Un clasico interesante para sus tiempos.. "

" Who knew Louis Stevenson was such a dark dude? In my version I also have additional collected essays. "The Body-Snatcher" was super-dark. Can't wait to read "The Suicide Club." "

" An interesting work of science fiction/horror. Made more interesting when you consider that it came on the tail of Darwinism. I personally saw some exploration of its implications in the story. "

" Read it as a part of an analytic reading course. Once we tore the book a part I LOVED it!! "

" 3.5. I liked it a lot. "

" I did enjoy this book. It was easy to read but I found it was too short. "

" Robert Louis Stevenson has immortalized himself through this short work which is often retold and acted on stage. "

" Quite a crazy story. I liked it because it was so bizarre. "

" It was okay... I think it was a bit of a disappointment because of already knowing the entire plot before hand. "

" Classic fantasy thriller. In the public domain, with a free electronic copy here. "

" Not so fun when you know the story, but cool in a different way. Its, like, the first scary story I've ever really read(so its going in my favorites b/c i actually enjoyed it). "

" Very unlike the versions we see in movies and on tv. "

" Very quick book to read, extremely interesting story that flowed very well. Different than my previous conceptions of Jekyll/Hyde from popular media certainly. "

" A brilliant inspiration. Horrible execution. A bit of advice to people; read this on a gloomy rainy day or if you like classics. Read if you fancy but everything went downhill in the last 2 chapters. You've been warned. "

" It absolutely amazes me that Stevenson, before the time of modern psychology and psychotherapy, could write such a remarkable account of the implications of intrapersonal duality. "

" Read this aloud with Spencer. Short, quick read... humorous for us to read about the scandalous crimes of the 1800's. Trampling a girl? Now it'd be kidnapping, rape and murder. "

" A book you must have read. For me it is the basis for so many other books. It opens your eye for psychology. "

" It would have been a lot better if you don't know the connection... "

" Gotta love these classic horror stories! Jekyl and Hyde is a short book, and even though we all know the story of how Dr. Jekyl drinks a potion and turns into his evil alter-ego Mr. Hyde, the telling of the story is creepy and the vocabulary is brilliant. "

" Lovely writing. Intricate, elegant phrasing that is so far removed from the blunt way we communicate in the modern world. Also an intriguing investigation of the desire to indulge in vice without consequence. "

" Even without the suspense as to the outcome, the book was an entertaining read. And, it's a classic! I have seen the play before and next time I'll have the full story in mind to make it richer. "

" Audio Book. Like all books that have become horror classics, the original is not scary or horrible. It is a much different story than Hollywood has made it. "

" The sotry is nothing like pop culture portrays. The monster is a small man, not a huge giant. I read it for the cultural experience. I wouldn't read it again. "
