(hb; 1886)
From
the inside flap
“It is
about the strange a London lawyer named John Gabriel Utterson who investigates occurrences
between his old friend, Dr. Henry Jekyll, and the evil Mr. Hyde.”
Review
Strange
is
a superb-for-its-time, sketched-out and memorable short read, one that deserves
its characters-iconic status among readers. The writing is occasionally chatty
but otherwise it is a true classic, not just a chatfest, hot-air book that a
bunch of so-called “intellectuals” deemed to be great. Worth reading and worth
owning for a few bucks. It has inspired a lot of offshoot stories and movies,
too many to list in this mini-review.
