The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde and Other Tales of Terror Audiobook (Unabridged)

" As good as I thought it would be but not as scary. Modern media has done a fine job desensitizing me to to the more subtle forms of horror. No doubt it was pretty disturbing to the readers at the time it was first published. "

" The character study has some profound insight into the very nature of mankind across the ages. "

" I really liked the understanding of human nature in this book. It is much more nuanced than simple good vs. evil. "

" Absolutely thrilling to read. I was holding my breath every time I turned the page! "

" It wasn't super amazing, but I liked how, similarly to The Picture of Dorian Gray, it made evil into something that can be visibly seen in (and on) a person. "

" This version of this book contains three stories: the classic Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, written in 1886, Markheim, about a man who murders and then turns himself in after a conversation with a devil, and The Merry Men about a storm and shipwrecks off the coast of Scotland. "

" I read it a really long time ago but I know I really liked it! Thrilling! "

" I liked this book, it was very well written and the combination, of all the other stories that go with each, all intertwining, dr. jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Each story has its own special form of story "

" Definitely worth the read (J&H is not a full novel, just a long story). It's always interesting to read the original basis for those old monster movies; and while this one isn't exactly a shocker, it does have more psychological depth than I expected. Read it! "

" meh, wasn't as good as i expected. RLS wrote Treasure Island, which was less wordy, and a lot better. Not that great. Interesting premise, but not much was done with it. Beginning was good, though. Wouldn't really recommend it. "

" It's a pretty interesting book if you're up for a pinch of mystery and a cup of twisted laced with sprinkles of loyalty and friendship. But yeah, let's add another cup of twisted, aite? "

" I had to read it for a class, I feel like if it was in a different atmosphere when I read this book, it would have changed my opinion. "

" Es genial, me ha encantado. Hay que ver los cambios que hace el cine para su conveniencia... :( "

" I loved them all besides Thawny janet. I could literally not cope with that accent. OY VEY "

" The scientist Jekyll wants to see if the "bad" side of man can be isolated, but doesn't realize the consequences for him when he succeeds. Told in multiple narratives, it's a well-written, engrossing story of man's pride and fall. Includes the intriguing story "The Suicide Club." "

" The classic text of Victorian doubleness. "

" i love this book just for the fact that it has very proper english, something about that i think is awsome! "

" This is a FANTASTIC book, one of my new favorites. It's creepy without really being creepy. You have to think about it and imagine it instead of having the creepiness described to you. Love it. "

" I have the Barnes & Noble edition. It's a classic thriller. I wish they'd follow the plot in a new film. Producers seem to re-write the book for the popular story/novella. "

" The idea of the story is genius but the end is rather dramatic and unjustified. "

" After reading this story it vaulted to one of my favorites. Simple. Well laid out. Maybe a bit predictable but written well enough to overlook that. Forget the other stories in this book and give Jekyll and Hyde a go. "

" Amazing book. From start to finish I just simply could'nt put the book down. I recommend anyone to read it. "

" Amazing!! It made me cry at the end it was so soooo good!!! Brilliant!! "

" I loved this story, the suspense was perfect and even though I knew the outcome of the story it had a perfect way of explaining the hardships of an internal struggle. Perfect for anyone who likes gothic literature. "

" Read this as a kid, great to read again! "

" I am rather observant of the happenings within me and often try to capture them through the means of art. I like how Stevenson knowing so well the dual-natures at war within, used the story as his medium. I liked how he crafted it and the excellent moral in this story and warning to its readers. "

" So not like the musical! :) "

" Surely one of THE defining Gothic horror novels? The duality of man, the inhuman beast within, science flying in the face of the creator, the sheer weight of the atmosphere that Stevenson creates is incredible - this is how good I hope to one day be. "

" Entertaining, but not as terrifying as I expected. "

" Good book, but the Broadway musical was better. :) "

" A haunting interrogation of the duality of self - definitely spooky and smart. Not a long read but definitely worth a look. "

" I only read the story of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, but I liked it. However, I could not separate the story from the old Warner Bros. cartoon of the green Mr. Hyde battling his own self to drink the bubbling potion. I was left wanting more, but I guess that means it was a good story. "
