About the author
Robert Louis Stevenson
7,859 books7,271 followersRobert Louis Balfour Stevenson was a Scottish novelist, poet, and travel writer, and a leading representative of English literature. He was greatly admired by many authors, including Jorge Luis Borges, Ernest Hemingway, Rudyard Kipling and Vladimir Nabokov.
Most modernist writers dismissed him, however, because he was popular and did not write within their narrow definition of literature. It is only recently that critics have begun to look beyond Stevenson's popularity and allow him a place in the Western canon.

Like playing 'Hyde' and Seek when you can't find the person. Frustrating, boring, miserable and couldn't wait for it to be over.

Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The writing was good, and I really liked the message and all the symbolism throughout. I also have to appreciate how creative and unique the whole idea is. It’s definitely the story that stood out to me among the other stories.
The Body Snatcher ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I liked this one way more than I expected. I really enjoyed the horror aspect, especially how it ended on such a mysterious and incomplete note. I also appreciated that it wasn’t as focused on religion and the devil as some of the other stories. This was my favorite story from the book.
A Lodging for the Night ⭐️⭐️⭐️
I honestly don’t know how I feel about this one. The idea is really interesting and unique, and I appreciate the message and symbolism, but actually reading it felt kind of weird. I just don’t think I enjoyed it as much as I expected to.
Markheim ⭐️⭐️
This was probably one of my least favorites. I liked the idea behind it, and I did enjoy the message and ending, but honestly, I was pretty bored while reading it.
Thrawn Janet ⭐️
This was definitely my least favorite. I just hated it. I didn’t really care about anything happening in the story.
The Misadventures of John Nicholson ⭐️⭐️⭐️
This one was fine, but not particularly good. It kind of annoyed me, and I didn’t find it nearly as entertaining or funny as I think it was supposed to be.
