Tommy Vercetti Posted January 15, 2003 Share Posted January 15, 2003 I have just started reading this book in my english class and i have already read it before and seen the film but i think its an interesting book and i like the way that dr Jekyll i think he takes like a potion or something and then becomes the mutated person of Mr Hyde and its a very detailed story. I was wondering if any of you have read it and what you think of it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sui Generis Posted January 16, 2003 Share Posted January 16, 2003 I've read it, seen the movie, and seen two plays. I love the story line. Its a classic. And its so deep. There are so many lessons that could be learned from this book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bing Posted January 17, 2003 Share Posted January 17, 2003 [size=1][color=darkblue]There is a movie? Our teacher told us there never was one? *am shocked* She probably just doesn't want me to beg for the T.V. again! I like the book, the descriptions are great, and the story plot is great, and was truly original at it's time. I find that many films have taken themes from this, i.e. Fight Club, [spoiler]When it turns out that they are both the same guy[/spoiler]. It is a great book, and I am quite eager to watch the plot unfold![/color][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Vercetti Posted January 17, 2003 Author Share Posted January 17, 2003 My english teacher said that there was a video with Julia Roberts in and she plays a maid and it is from her point of view and she tells the story which sounds pretty good. I wasnt really enjoying the book at the very beginning but now that the characters have become clear to me i am enjoying reading it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leofski Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 If you enjoy Jekyll and Hyde, try reading the picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde. Its fairly similar in terms of style and very enjoyable. However if you have trouble with 19th century english, don't even try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
