This is an adaptation of the original story of Jekyll and Hyde. This version of the book has excerpts to explain historical, geographical, and societal contexts. There is neat information regarding the author and the legend that became of the original story. The illustrations are great and the story is presented in such a way that readers can easily understand. I liked the story, but for me there was too much going on, on every page. It was hard for me to keep my focus on the story, and not jump around to all of the little articles and pictures all over the spread. This is why I gave this story three out of five stars.
