About the author

Robert 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.

It’s a classic for a reason. Easy read, spooky, and now I understand better all the ways in which this book is referenced and all the dr. Jekyll and Mr Hyde interpretations

This was a quick and easy read. The story was ok. There wasn't much in the way of plot and the characters were decently developed but nothing spectacular. Overall this book is just ok. If your looking for a fast read just so you can say that you read it, then go for it.

I’m glad I finally got around reading this. The one thing I thought of reading this was “No. This is Patricia” or whatever that line from Split was lol
