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...!).
WONDERLAND:Alice's New Musical Adventure enjoyed a short, but sweet run on Broadway in Spring of 2011!

I've been so lucky, I am the girl with golden hair
I wanna sing it out to everybody
What a joy, what a life, what a chance!

Thank you for the music, the songs I'm singing
Thanks for all the joy they're bringing
Who can live without it, I ask in all honesty
What would life be?


Actually I'm not going to continue my collecting, but it's good to see how it makes you happy! ^^
