A little bit about what you'll find reviewed here

A little bit about what you'll find reviewed on this blog: I believe the best books involve characters you wish you could read more about long after the book is finished. Recently, I've been searching for hidden gems from the past. I read mostly fiction, and I'm a bit of a prude. I don't normally enjoy books with sex or excessive language.

Who I am:
I raised two wonderful girls, and I'm super proud of them. I enjoy reading (of course), sewing, cross stitching, photography and writing. I live in the high desert portion of Washington (which I didn't know existed until my husband and I decided to move here) and have really enjoyed my time out here. I am excited to see what God has next in store for my life!

The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde - Robert Louis Stevenson

I am going back to some of the classics. I didn't realize Robert Louis Stevenson wrote this, but I was excited to read the famous story.

I'm not sure it's necessary for me to go over the plot, but I'll sum it up real quick. A man is leading a double life, but when his darker side starts to take over, will he be able to regain control?

The book isn't very long, and it is easy to read for the most part. Towards the end, when it was getting philosophical, it had moments where it was a bit harder to follow. A couple things struck me. First was Hyde's stature. I expected him to be larger, but he wasn't. The other was when Jekyll attempted to split man into good and bad, he ended up with a good/bad composite and evil. Interesting.

It's a quick, easy read, and I recommend it. Good Book!
