| Me or Mr. Hyde? The world may never know |
Oh english classes. How I adore your proper use of punctuation and research papers on authors I don't care much for.... Well thats at least what MY english classes have been throughout high school. Okay to be fair, there were some classic books thrown in but not all the ones I wanted to read.
Recently, it has been my mission to catch up on all the classics that I've missed though out my high school career. Most recently, I read 1984 and Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. I also read Fahrenheit 451 but today I'm only going to take about the first two.
1984 was written by my favorite author, George Orwell. This book has everything that a great book should including romance, trickery, action, and government conspiracies. To put into context how good of an author George Orwell is; he wrote a small book INSIDE of 1984. Thats right, a book inside of a book. Its bookception. If you read 1984, you wont be disappointed.
Call me Mr. Snyde because I dont have a lot of good things to say about Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. This book has been built up for so many years that you think it would blow your tiny little mind. Going into this book I thought that Mr. Hyde would be one of the most scary and threatening characters I have ever read about but no. I've heard of children doing worse things than this "man". The scariest thing about this book is that a normal man (Dr. Jekyll) can turn into such a "monster" (Mr. Hyde). This book is easily the most disappointing (not bad, just disappointing) book that I've read all year.
