Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde
Robert Louis Stevenson

This book was published in1886 by Robert Louis Stevenson. He was born in Edinburgh, in Scotland, in 1850. He is known to people as a novelist, a poet and a essayist.

This story is about the life of a man with a double character. Dr Jekyll is a very clever scientist. He invent a special drug to change himself. He has two faces, one is real and the other is false, Mr Hyde. Mr Hyde is a strange-looking man. He is a short, but has a strong, heavy body. He is really evil. He kill some people and doesn't control himself. He looks like a monster. Why did he wish to be someone else?

The theme of this story is changing myself. Do you hate yourself? Do you want to be someone else? I thought no one is perfect person. This story told me importance of accepting personality and also the fear of the drug. I had interest in this book. If you like the mystery story, I will recommend this book. Please read this!
