Summary: Dr. Jekyll was very busy making a potion that separate the good part of the person to the bad part. When he finished it he try himself. When he was “good” was Dr. Jekyll, but when he was “bad” was Mr. Hyde. Mr. Hyde killed Sir Danvers Carew, but anyone know it. Utterson and Jekyll investigate this mystery; the investigation was very exciting, strange and scary. But they resolved it and Dr. Jekyll wrote a letter. He said: “there is only one answer. I shall take poison. If I kill myself, I will also kill Edward Hyde. Henry Jekyll.”
Personal opinion: I think it was an interesting and exciting story. I like it a lot. I think this type of books are good for reason and for entertainment.
