I read the book Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. It was about a man named Dr. Jekyll. Dr. Jekyll made concoctions and mixtures to take. One time, he took one of his concoctions. It changed him into another person. He called this person Mr. Hyde. Mr. Hyde had a whole different personality than Dr. Jekyll. He was evil and wicked, small and devilish and very mean. He eventually grew apart of Dr. Jekyll. Mr. Hyde committed crimes and actually killed a person.
I thought this book was very good. It was very descriptive and had lots of detail. I felt like I knew all of the characters. From a scale from one to ten, I would give this book a ten!

 This book is about a scientist who deside she wants to separate the good from bad in a person so maybe he could end violence.
When he had made a potion to do so, he could find nobody who wanted to drink the potion, so eh drank it himself. At first nothing happened but soon but something surged through his body and he lurched foward in great pain. When he got up and looked in the mirror he saw not the warm gentle face of Henry Jekyll but the mischievous face of Mr. Hyde.
He felt younger and more free. But these were two different people. They didn't know of the others existence except Dr. Jekyll. He knew what he was doing but couldn't control himself.
This story tells what happens to Henry Jekyll and how and what mischievous things Mr. Hyde does.

 Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is a one of a kind mystery, but confusing at times. Dr. Jekyll is Mr. Hyde but Dr. Jekyll can't control himself when he is Mr. Hyde
Dr. Jekyll is a scientist that likes to do tests on him self . One of the tests he did on him turned him into Mr. Hyde, but the bad thing is, is that Dr. Jekyll can't reverse the potion that he drank. At night when Dr.. Jekyll is Mr. Hyde there seems to be a murder every night. But it's a mystery to the police on who did it.
This novel is great. I really think Robert Louis Stevenson did a great job writing this novel.

A classic I have read that I really enjoyed was Dr.Jekyll and Mr.Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson. This book was a very strange book. The actions that took place in this book are things that would not normally take place in real life. For example a man that makes a potion that can change him into another man. Some parts of the book were really descriptive. For example when two men where walking down a street in London Robert Louis Stevenson really described the street well. There are more parts of the book that are descriptive. There are also some suspenceful parts.
This is a great book to read so if you get a chance to read it you should. Don't miss out on this book.

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, was my favorite classic novel. It is about an English mad scientist. He creates a special and unique potion that changes you r personality, and your looks within seconds. My favorite part of the novel was when Dr. Jekyll turned into Mr. Hyde and ran out into the the night like a wild man, and killed someone. He just could not control himself because of the potion. When Dr. Jekyll drinks the potion he turns into somewhat of a disguise. He becomes a raging mad, hunchback man who is very sloppy, and mean. As soon as the friends of Jekyll realizes has created the potion to be Hyde he runs away in terror and fright. In this novel, Robert Louis Stevenson, uses a significent way of putting the reader in the book. He also writes very well in an old English way which was very interesting to me. This was a great classic science fictional novel, I enjoyed it a lot.
