Good story, wish it was a longer story

I enjoyed the story it was a classic I had wanted to listen to. Though I was surprised that Jekyll and Hyde aren’t day and night. I thought Jekyll didn’t know about Hyde.

It captures you as most classics do!

I really did enjoy this from start to finish. I really enjoyed Jekyll’s last letter describing what he had done and the nature of his duality. How at first he was able to separate his good nature from that of Hyde’s when he transformed or so he claimed. However as it went on you could see his dilemma and how it presented him with an even bigger problem that lead to his demise. I enjoyed the narrator as well! I added this version to my favorites!

Fantastic Production

This production of Jekyll and Hyde was an absolute joy to listen to. The narrator does a wonderful job of bringing the characters of this classic tale to life. A+

True horror classic

That is performed by a super talented narrator, who could not be more perfect for the part.

Duality

Thank you for the childlike wonder of science and the unwavering dilemma of one’s duality!
