Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde

I had a cute little paperback of this book, which I had bought in the re-sale market. I had been meaning to read the novella for a really long time. Many people give the Jekyll and Hyde reference when talking or writing and I always wondered what that was.
When I started reading the book, I really liked the build up of suspense with each character introduced and with each chapter. But, I unintentionally gave myself a major spoiler when I was in the middle and I was praying throughout the second half that the spoiler was wrong. It wasn't. But with the spoiler too, I enjoyed the story.
In this book the story overpowers the writing. Though the concept is simple in its definition, it is presented in a complex and beautiful manner. I really liked the relation between Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. The writing was good too but it wasn't extraordinary. That is the reason why the story overpowers the writing and makes the book appealing.
A great classic thriller, must read if you haven't already.
