نقد و بررسی
Grover Gardner is the perfect choice to read this well-loved classic. His straightforward reading shines in its simplicity. Subtle changes in intonation and pacing help to unfold the psychological drama of the respected London doctor who is transformed into the repulsive, evil Mr. Hyde. Gardner delivers perfectly the atmosphere and vitality of Stevenson's writing without melodrama. This is a treat for listeners new to Stevenson, as well as those who know his writing well. C.R.A.

Stevenson's pioneering psychological thriller was released in 1886, but unlike 1883's Treasure Island and Kidnapped, also 1886, where the story is propelled through action, this tale is dominated by talk. The dreaded Edward Hyde remains an elusive character, appearing quite sparingly. Very little actually transpires, and the eventual solution to the mystery and the revelation of Hyde's true identity unfurl through Jekyll's first-person narrative related after his death. Despite its brief length, the familiar story moves slowly. Stevenson's prose, however, is crisp, lush, and a delight on audio. VERDICT Oscar-nominee Ian Holm acts the story rather than reads it, providing a virtuoso performance that's a treat for listeners. The novel's brevity makes it prime travel fodder or for playing aloud in a classroom to students. Nice price, too.--Mike Rogers, Library Journal
