Andrea Groves This is an iconic tale of the conflict between two incompatible compulsions within the soul of one person. Every addict, every overeater, every sexual deviant, every bipolar/manic depressive or person living with multiple personality/dissociative disorder --diagnosed or not--has warred within and without with the need to express the blackballed part of their personality on one side, and the fear of expressing it on the other. Mr. Stevenson captures the horror and despondency of this dilemma. Societal superego, in Freud's terms is out to wipe out the individual primitive drive for pleasure. An d the results of this civil war are not pretty. A classic that all can appreciate, beautifully read by the narrator, although matching gender is less confusing.

The narration is fantastic and obviously the story is a classic. I can't believe this was free!

I really enjoyed reading Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. The plot was gripping and full of suspense, and the gradual reveal of the mystery kept me on my toes from beginning to end. I especially appreciated the character development, particularly how Dr. Jekyll's inner conflict unfolded throughout the story. It made the novel much more than just a horror story—it became a fascinating exploration of human nature and the struggle between good and evil. That said, it is a challenging read. The language is quite old-fashioned, and the vocabulary can be difficult at times, so I occasionally had to slow down to understand what was happening. I also found it difficult to stay fully engaged because the narrator's tone wasn't really to my taste. Since the novel was written in the 19th century, the narration reflects the style of that era, which felt slower and more formal than I usually enjoy. Despite those challenges, I genuinely enjoyed the book. Its clever plot, memorable characters, and thought-provoking themes made it a worthwhile read, and I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys classic literature and psychological mysteries.

It was straight forward and easy to listen to. a great, peceful voice!

I loved it!

great book and an excellent narration

I'm amazed that the story of Jekyll and Hyde I grew up with was completely wrong. The real story has a very interesting premise. Normally, I flee from Libravox recordings...but this narrator was pretty good. She tended to end every sentence with the same note. There's a difference between reading a story outloud and acting it out verbally. But since it's free and short, I wasn't disappointed.

No wonder it’s a classic. This is a really good book. Delves deeply into the human psyche and teaches an eternal message about the invidious nature of evil. The narrator did a fine job as well.

Jekyll and Hyde is one of my Favourite books from highschool till now I still read it in my free time.

SPOOOOKY ! ! ! Having seen the old B & W film many years ago, I 'read' this version with a feeling of familiarity. This, however, was soon replaced with a new conception of what was missing in the film. Defoe had a much more profound concept of good vs evil. A brilliant reading by a very competent narrator.

One of the classics beautifully read.

Classic story, but the narrator is simply outstanding!
