Book report Author: Robert Louis Stevenson. Work of: Víctor Manuel Montero Ramírez. Publisher: Helbling languages
The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde is possibly Stevenson ´s most famous book and the expression “he is a Jekyll and Hyde character” has become a very common saying in English, because Dr Jekyll is a good part and Mr Hyde is the evil part.
For me the book is boring because is very old and when I was a child saw the film and I didn´t liked. I remind Spiderman 3, because when Spiderman was black, he´s evil but when he´s blue and red was a good person.
I´m not recommended the book and for my friends I say “You don ´t read this book is boring and isn´t interesting” and this book is very quite difficult to read. In with moment of your life do you think in this book?

and is a strange person and is the bad personality of Dr. Jekyll. Personality: He´s evil and a bad person. Mr. Hyde love all bad things. Likes: kill, bad thing and the suffering of the person. Dislikes: good things and happiness persons. My favourite incident in the story is when he kill the good personality (Dr. Jekyll)

I have learnt a lot useful expressions. I have learnt some new idioms. The most exciting thing that happened was when Mr Hyde eliminated the good part (Dr Jekyll), but Mr Hyde died too and the story had a bad ending because many persons died and for me the book It wasn´t bad.
