This book was amazing until the last chapter, I just thought it was so pointless as it basically retold the entire book but in fewer words. I could have skipped the last chapter and it would still have been like I'd read the whole book since it didn't tell me anything I didn't already know.
You should listen to the musical by Frank Wildhorn (Whitney Houston's "Where Do Broken Hearts Go" ;) and countless wonderful musicals based off novels!) and Leslie Briscusse (lots of Bond theme songs and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory!). It's called, obviously, "Jekyll & HYDE - The Musical" and starred the lovely Linda Eder as Lucy Harris (Jekyll's bad side/the woman Hyde wanted) who is a pheonomal talent and Robert Cucioli in the title roles! They added the two females...prostitute Lucy and good-girl Emma! Try to pick up a copy one day if you can...it's amazing music with the hits: "This is the Moment," (which is frequently heard at the Olympics!), "A New Life," "In His Eyes," and "Someone Like You."
For me, I'm still admist reading A TALE OF TWO CITIES by Dickens, and also JANE EYRE by Charlotte Bronte!
Last finished in entirety was probably THE WOMAN IN WHITE by Wilkie Collins...and yikes that was a few months ago! (Have been reading for school of course...!).
