The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Robert Louis Stevenson

The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Robert Louis Stevenson
****(4 Stars)
Science Fiction Novella. Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is about a guy named Mr. Utterson, who's friend, Dr. Jekyll, hasn't been acting quite like himself. Recently Mr. Utterson, a lawyer, found a peculiar document in which Dr. Jekyll leaves all of his possessions to a certain Mr. Hyde, in the event that he disappears for longer then three months. The reason its so peculiar is that Dr. Jekyll is a respectable gentleman, while Mr. Hyde is a mysterious man that no one likes (except for Dr. Jekyll), and who likes no one (except for Dr. Jekyll). As the book progresses you follow Mr. Utterson as he tries to figure out why Dr. Jekyll won't see him, and who Mr. Hyde really is. This is a deep story about not giving into, or giving into, the temptations of evil. I would give The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde an age limit of 12+
