After reading Nancy Horan's new book, Under the Wide and Starry Sky, which is about the life of Robert Louis Stevenson and his wife, I decided I just had to re-read The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. It had been many, many years since I had read it.I am so glad I read this classic again. So many reviews have been written about it and it has gotten 1 Star up through 5 Stars. I give this short novel 4 Stars. I think Mr. Stevenson wanted us to realize that there is some evil in all of us and this novel is certainly convincing. It was a fast read for me even though the story unfolds rather slowly.Some adjectives I will use to described this novel are gothic, mystery, horror and creepy. There are many more I could use but you get the idea.I hope to read more of Stevenson's writings. He truly was a master.
