Summary: Mr. Utterson was a London´s lawyer that listened a story telling by Mr. Enfield. This story aroused curiosity and encouraged to investigate about Mr. Hyde, a character very attached to Dr. Jekyll. His first research went to a will in which Dr. Jekyll write that the only heir is Mr. Hyde, so Utterson talked with Dr. Jekyll. In the other hand, was produced a murder in the city. A witness ensured that the murderer was Mr Hyde. After a long search he didn´t appear and later occurs the strange illness and died of Mr Lanyon (an old friend of Mr Utterson). After a long time, one night appears Poole, the Jekyll´s servant in the Utterson´s house for help. Utterson moved to his friend´s house and after broke down the door, they found the Hyde´s corpse with some letters. And at home, Utterson started to read and was carried a big surprise: The letter of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde was the same!!! He did this by invent a potion that, when he drank it, he became an evil being, that is, Mr Hyde. Increasingly, it was taking over his body until reach to the point where both hated each other. Doses were ending and could not find a suitable substance for the potion, until this is over. Both fought against each other, but the end of the product came and Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde die. Personal opinion: I think that it´s a very good book. At the beginning was very boring, but with the time pass the book was more and more interesting. I think that this copy can be interesting for everybody and I´m sure that will not regret.
