The Strange Cae of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde

Book Review by: Mej1    

Original Authors: Retold: Joan Cameron; originally: Robert Louis Stevenson
This book is a Ladybird Horror Classic book, which is a series of books; the collection includes Dracula, Frankenstein
and the Mummy. Obviously, this book is in it too. It is quite well known and loved but still it is a horrifying story.  Here is a brief summary of it.
Characters

The main characters are Dr. Jekyll/ Mr Hyde, Mr Utterson, Mr Enfield, Dr Lanyon and Poole. Dr. Jekyll and Mr Hyde are one person.
Settings

The story is set in a few different parts of a big busy city: a dismal place where Mr Hyde lived; a busy place where Mr Utterson, and his good friend, Mr Enfield walked on Sundays; finally, the home Dr Jekyll where he had his laboratory and his big lounge where he had a party and discussion with Mr Utterson.
Plot

There are two sides of one man: Dr. Jekyll and Mr Hyde. Dr Jekyll is a good, popular person; on the other hand, Mr Hyde was ill natured and hated. He goes out doing bad things and goes into the good body so he doesn’t get caught. What will happen if anyone ever finds out?
Rating and recommendation

I would rat this book 9/ 10 and would recommend it to all children who like scary stories!
