Loved the dramatized version of this book.

If you could sum up Robert Louis Stevenson's Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (Dramatized) in three words, what would they be?

Intriguing, entertaining, and spellbinding.

What other book might you compare Robert Louis Stevenson's Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (Dramatized) to and why?

I love dramatized books done by the BBC and LA Theatre Works. This book reminded me of the dramatized version of The Crucible by Arthur Miller.

Which character – as performed by the narrators – was your favorite?

I liked John Utterson's character.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

I enjoyed the entire story and was excited to see how the entire story wrapped up. I liked how the book ended.

Very intriguing

The classics are the best to read/listen to. I haven't actually read 'Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde' but this technique of entertainment is just as good.

Good Old Fashioned Radio Theater

As a kid I grew up listening to radio theater. I enjoyed this version as much as the ones I listened to as a kid.

A well done performance of a great book

A well dramatized and performed version of one of my favorite classic horror stories. I recommend this audiobook.

Don't open this door if you value your sanity...

Jerry Robbins and the Colonial Radio Theater have created the best example of Stevenson's creepy tale of good and evil. Their expression follow's the book and it's a great listen for the whole family. Highly recommended!

Quaint attempt at horror

Jekyll and Hyde was a very early exploration of the genre that would become horror, and while entertaining, it is stylistically too Romantic. too much dialog, telling the story instead of showing it, too many loquacious dialogs involving claret, and too few shocking reveals.
