The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson

I have not read Treasure Island. In fact, this is the only thing I've read by this writer of classics. This story make a huge hit with me, I figure because it's too far before my time. Always, I knew the titular characters were part of some transformation of Jekyll. But I never knew for sure what happened with them. So the whole thing felt like an exposition, especially with the telling of the story from the accounts of different characters. Though I think the non-linear form worked in the favor of the mystery here. It might have worked better if some secrets weren't already in my consciousness.
