Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.
I wrote my first novel at age 3, taking a ream of paper and a pen and mimicking the squiggly writing that I had observed grown-ups using. Okay, it was twenty pages of scribbles, but to me it was the Great American Novel, and my grandmother seemed to be pleased with it. Today I still enjoy writing novels, short stories, novellas, screenplays, stage plays, and lyric plays. Perhaps the mark of the writer is not what he writes, but that he writes. I always enjoyed comedy, so my first few efforts were of a comedic nature, and I will always instill some humor even into my more serious, mainstream works.
I have been trying to crack the secret to writing classics; I try to read mostly authors whose works have remained in print for eighty years or more. Still, I have time for more contemporary works, like those of Kurt Vonnegut, Tom Robbins, and Douglas Adams, to name but a few. I think I may have struck upon the crucial sequence, plots, characters, writing style and everything to keep me published for a hundred years or more. Now I just need to sell some books.
I have recently resettled in San Antonio, Texas, to try to remember the Alamo. No matter how deeply I concentrate, it still feels a little before my time.

Another great classic. I liked that Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde are one person marked by dual personality, one aspect of which is good and the other bad. Such a great read.

The Colonel

A Classic but Somewhat Difficult to Read

Reviewed in the United States on May 13, 2023

Verified Purchase

Like most other people, I have been familiar with the phrase "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde," but I had never read the tale by Robert Louis Stevenson. As I was about to read "The Jekyll Revelation," I decided that I should first read "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde."
I was surprised to learn that it was a short novella rather than a full-length book. The style of writing is set at a mature level, and I was thankful to have a dictionary app in my iPad to assist in understanding Victorian Era vocabulary. Because I have become used to the fluff that passes for good writing today, I had some difficulty following the story despite having a BA in history and MA in geography. Even so, I recommend the novella and encourage its reading so that folks will have a clear appreciation of the story behind the phrase "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde."

A First Time For Me

Reviewed in the United States on October 8, 2022

I’ve heard of this book my whole life. I’ve referred to myself and others as having Jekyll/Hyde personalities, but I’ve never really known the context. I’ve never seen any of the adaptations done for television or the movies, and I wasn’t even sure of the story’s plot. Given that it’s a short read, and I’m delving into the creepy books for October, I decided it was time to finally add this book to my “finished” shelf.

While Kindle Unlimited currently offers this book and the audible narration (performed by Matthew Lloyd Davies), I opted to follow along with the Richard Armitage reading. Given that this story was writing by a Scottish author in the 1880’s, I was incredibly grateful for the Kindle dictionary!

Once I was able to get past the language of the Victorian era (which can be dry, but be patient), the story was a chilling and creepy tale. Stevenson was in ill health when he wrote this book and you can’t help but feel his own struggle of mortality reflected in his characters.

I’m glad I have finally read this story, and while it’s not a book I can call a personal favorite, I do appreciate the popularity of the book. I am looking forward to watching an adaptation to hopefully deepen my understanding of the story-I know there are levels I’m not considering upon this first-time read.

Well worth checking out if you're only familiar with the adaptations

Reviewed in the United States on July 18, 2020

"The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" seems to be one of those works that everyone has heard of, but few people have actually read. And until recently I was one of those people -- I was mostly aware of it via pop culture, especially a few Looney Toons shorts that utilized bits of the concept. I decided it was high time I gave the original a shot... and while the language of the time period can be dry to modern readers and decades of exposure have rendered the twist ending no longer a twist, it's still a chilling read.

In Victorian London, attorney Gabriel Utterson has noticed some troubling behavior in his client and friend, the kindly and mild-mannered doctor Henry Jekyll. Not only has word spread that Jekyll is connected to a loathsome and villainous character known only as Mr. Hyde, but he's recently changed his will to leave everything he has to Hyde in the event of his death. Concerned that Hyde is manipulating his friend, Utterson seeks to intervene... especially after Hyde is witnessed as having committed a brutal murder. But when Utterson finally confronts Jekyll, he learns the shocking truth behind Jekyll and Hyde's connection...

Given that this book was written in the 1880s, the language used can feel a bit dry and stilted to modern readers. But Stevenson is still a good storyteller, and knows how to keep the suspense going throughout this story. Even readers already familiar with the twist ending should feel the chills as Utterson pursues the mystery and watches his friend's behavior become more and more erratic as the story goes. And amusingly, the original version of this book contains a joke that modern readers might have assumed was inserted into adaptations by other parties.

While short and a bit dry, "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" is still a suspenseful read, and well worth checking out if you're only familiar with the adaptations.

It’s partly in an older English but it’s no stress at all to read, as you can follow along nicely.
A fantastic story with a great duality concept to conclude it all. Read this book alongside the works of Carl Jung involving Analytical Psychology and all I can say is that you will be enlightened greatly.

In my opinion, this book is amazing not only because it is clearly written but also for the story itself, which portrays the inner struggle in every person: the battle between good and evil.
If you are learning English, you will enjoy reading this fantastic book.

Quando o mistério vem de alguém próximo

Reviewed in Brazil on May 15, 2020

Verified Purchase

Ao testemunhar um ato violento diante de nós, submetemo-nos ao medo. Sem sofrer danos físicos, as inúmeras indagações alimentam nossas dores quanto aos motivos de alguém fazer tal ato, e sem saber as circunstâncias, fica incerta a possibilidade de acontecer com nós também, e a ansiedade nos faz esperar o pior. O pior mesmo é caso descubra do meliante ter relação próxima com seu amigo de longa data, e este pelo visto deixou de ser tão próximo. The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde fala desta violência cometida por alguém íntimo o bastante a causar temores. Escrito por Robert Louis Stevenson em 1886 e disponível pela Amazon Classics desde 2017, esta história clássica de terror inspirou muitas criações posteriores, entre elas o personagem Hulk da Marvel.

*

O advogado Mr. Utterson caminha pelas ruas de Londres com o amigo Ensfield quando este conta o caso recente visto em pessoa. Certo homem perambulava pela cidade indiferente ao mundo, indiferente à garota no caminho, indiferente ao andar por cima dela. Os pais estavam próximos quando aconteceu e exigiu satisfação, e o homem de aparência medonha — segundo Ensfield ao ver o incidente — ofereceu compensação em cheque, cujo valor seria retirado ao amanhecer em nome de outra pessoa. Quando Utterson pergunta sobre o nome deste sujeito estranho, Ensfield responde ser Hyde. Nunca ouvido falar de alguém com este nome, Utterson lê sobre ele de novo em pouco tempo, nomeado herdeiro no testamento elaborado pelo amigo de longa data, o cientista Dr. Jekyll.

*

A partir de então a história desenvolve o mistério envolto desta relação de Hyde com o Dr. Jekyll. Utterson procura compreender os motivos do amigo tão querido ter tamanha afeição repentina com este desconhecido e ainda por cima perigoso, conforme o capítulo posterior demonstra. De narrativa curta, desenvolve apenas esta questão, e termina quando esclarece as resposta desta, mais nada além. Certas passagens abusam de adjetivos e advérbios de modo, resumem a cena sob o preço de entregar parágrafos fracos no sentido de deixar de explorar a ambientação das cenas. Os sentimentos e comportamentos dos personagens também são esclarecidos em poucas palavras, ainda mais em diálogos por descrever o modo como alguém falava, algo possível de representar através das palavras ditas conforme o tom em vez de de apenas contar ao leitor. A descrição física de Hyde a princípio é incerta, revelando a sensação do personagem a encarar o sujeito, uma forma de incitar o temor conforme sentido pela pessoa.

Cada capítulo foi escrito sob determinado objetivo, e este transforma a forma narrativa. Uns deixam a escrita próxima da perspectiva de Utterson, outros desenrolam as pistas ao redor de Jekyll e Hyde, também há capítulo mais focado em ação — e portanto deixa de ter os incômodos elencados no parágrafo anterior. Tais nuances evitam a monotonia da escrita enquanto corresponde ao enredo proposto. Os dois capítulos finais são epistolares, ou seja, registros feitos pelos personagens e adquiridos durante a trama, portanto transcrito na íntegra em forma de capítulo. Assim transforma a narrativa de novo, tornando-a em primeira pessoa e por adequar ao modo de comunicar do personagem remetente do registro. O final dedica a amarrar as pontas deixadas durante a história enquanto o remetente confessa a experiência relacionada a Hyde. É o capítulo mais longo e prolongado, exige mais paciência do leitor. Apesar de devagar, entrega a narrativa satisfatória por demonstrar espontaneidade do personagem ao realizar seu registro.

The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde traz o terror ocorrido a pessoas próximas do protagonista e da angústia de obter respostas. História curta e resumida em certas partes, a escrita é fiel ao objetivo e por isso recompensa o leitor a aventurar no mistério do Médico e o Monstro.
