Reviews

[Whitney @ First Impressions Reviews]

The last Robert Louis Stevenson book I read was Treasure Island in the 3rd grade, and let's face it, who really pays attention to required reading at age 9. Therefore, I felt it was time to revisit the author. This time, instead of a child's adventure I went with something a little darker, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.
First Impressions

It started out with a bang and immediately captured my interest.
Impressions While Reading

Even though, I knew who the murderer was the pacing was such that I was completely drawn in and had to hear the conclusion from the horse's mouth.
Final Impressions

The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde was satisfactory and wonderfully described. I could now see myself going back and revisiting Treasure Island and exploring more of Robert Louis Stevenson's works.
Impressions on Narration

Scott Brick did a marvelous job as a storyteller. He paused at the right places and left words hanging in midair for effect, which in turn left me hanging on his every word. It made for a wonderful listen.

Pretty much the actual story but with wishbone as the narrator. Nothing tremendously different or added to it.
