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

        

        "The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde" is a novella written by  Robert Louis Stevenson that was first published in 1886. The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde was an immediate success and is one of Stevenson's best-selling works. This book is one of the most gripping and fascinating book. 

        

         This is a very well written book, with descriptive and powerful language. The characters and their feelings are described beautifully, for example, Mr. Utterson "spent his words as rarely as gold". There are two main ideas in the story. Firstly, the battle of good versus evil. 

              We see this in the story of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and how he struggles to keep balance between both sides of himself. Secondly, it is about taking science too far and if we can control scientific research.
