Yes, if you’re interested in the book’s themes and enjoy Victorian literature in general. Its well written and is an interesting peek into a historical view on ‘the duality of man’. I remember finding Dr. Jeckyll’s reasoning and motivations pretty interesting as well. Also, its not super long!

To me, this can be a rich way to read.
I strive to know NOTHING about most books that I read — like no summaries, no descriptions, no back matter, no dust jacket flaps NOTHING.
But I also love to reread favorites and also enjoy those times when I haven’t been able to avoid spoilers completely — you get the chance to see more closely the mechanics of the author’s technique. It can be an interesting reading method for sure. If the book is calling to you, pick it up and give it a chance.

Yes. It’s one of those stories that for years I only knew the ending and when I finally decided to read it I wished I had done it earlier. A very nice well crafted tale even knowing how it ends.

Read the original Frankenstein novel instead
