Personal Opinion Sincerely, I like this book. Is a satrange story, but in the other hand, it is interesting. My favourate carácter is Dr Jekyll and I don’t like Hyde, as I said before. I recomend this book for people that like policiac and misterius stories. I have a good time reading this book, but I don’t read very often.
