It would have been nice to read it without knowing the spoiler. Nonetheless, I liked it. I thought it was much more profound than I expected.

There are some fundamental eternal truths about the way we live and the world we live in, and they can be difficult to capture/articulate, but somehow certain classic books speak to them - I'd say Strange Case is one of those 😉👍Sheree @ Keeping Up With The Penguinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09387035714160789080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8533677737021490096.post-78833400898019224792019-05-30T15:52:42.316+10:002019-05-30T15:52:42.316+10:00Haha, thanks Sheree 😄 I wonder what Stevenson wou...Haha, thanks Sheree 😄 I wonder what Stevenson would have thought of the Jekyll and Hyde folk of our era.

And you didn't disappoint, a fantastic write up. Very thought provoking the way you've drawn parallels to the powerful men who are meeting their "downfalls" in the #metoo era, with their "separate" lives being revealed. Love it! So glad you gave this one a go, and shared your thoughts! ❤️Sheree @ Keeping Up With The Penguinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09387035714160789080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8533677737021490096.post-6299946991376623382019-05-29T18:38:14.705+10:002019-05-29T18:38:14.705+10:00Thanks Meredith 😄 Haha, I did think about it at o...Thanks Meredith 😄 Haha, I did think about it at one stage.Paula Vincehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02079952414990463270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8533677737021490096.post-35115082379905122992019-05-29T16:03:28.937+10:002019-05-29T16:03:28.937+10:00Love your analysis.

And the writing style is very atmospheric.Paula Vincehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02079952414990463270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8533677737021490096.post-19460107296635083962019-05-28T06:37:59.621+10:002019-05-28T06:37:59.621+10:00I read this for the first time a few years ago.

I also liked the writing style a lot. Brian Josephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15139559400312336791noreply@blogger.com
