- Still a fantastic read after more than a century
This book was quite unlike any I had previously read. While it was written in 1859 it is still - almost 150 years later - a book as gripping as it presumably was all those years ago for Victorian and Edwardian readers brought up on such spooky classics as Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, Dracula and Frankenstein.

Told in the form of letters and diaries of the different characters involved it unfolds bit by bit and keeps you guessing right up until the very end. Collins's characters seem to come ... Read More

- Brilliant book! Completely unpredictable
It took me a few pages to get into this book but after that I enjoyed it very much.

The book is extremely good and it's very unpredictable. Whenever you think you know what's going to happen next something completely different happens.

I haven't seen any of the other copies of this book so I can't comment on them but if you are going to buy this one (Oxford World's Classics) then I would because the paper wasn't to thin and cheap and also it wasn't badly printed.

Don't ... Read More
