Everyone has a dark side. Dr Jekyll has discovered the ultimate
drug. A chemical that can turn him into something else. Suddenly,
he can unleash his deepest cruelties in the guise of the sinister
Hyde. Transforming himself at will, he roams the streets of fog-
bound London as his monstrous alter-ego. It seems he is master of
his fate. It seems he is in complete control. But soon he will
discover that his double life comes at a hideous price ...

Thank god, every other version on KZbin sounded like the narrator was being forced to read this book at gunpoint

Heh heh heh 😂

This made me laugh so hard 😂

[@felixthecat3n2]

Audiobooks are great, but only when the narrator is good. Christopher Lee is the master in this regard. Perfection!

[@purplehaze2358]

The words "about as emotional as a bagpipe" had me reeling.

[@Lucialearning]

I read this book a few years ago and found it challenging. I had to look up words and re-read paragraphs. Now I’m coming back to it again, after reading several classics this year, and it reads easy like a normal book 🙂 So if anyone thinks they can’t read classics, Keep trying and it will get easier

[@jackiewhite4204]

Think of it as an allegory of addiction.

[@SirLuckySlime]

I'm pretty late, but what other classics did you read to get the hang of it?

[@jedite7503]

Christopher Lee, Dracula himself is reading Jekyll and Hyde. A match made in horror heaven.

[@mopete9830]

he read several others as well including dracula and frankestien as well as most of edgar allen poes works all found here on youtube

[@ivans.191]

He himself played in 2 adaptations of Jekyll and Hyde

[@Slippin_Jimmy29]

Never thought I'd be listening to count dooku reading Jekyll & Hyde at midnight but here I am

[@ivans.191]

Lee himself was in 2 adaptations of Jekyll and Hyde. He played the title roles in "I, Monster" (1971)

[@JaneFrieman]

Christopher Lee's reading of this classic novel displays his honed talent of acting.🦇

[@nittygritty7034]

"Hyde would be not even conscious of what he had lost". It's suicide, Jekyll gives up friends and love to avoid guilt and secrecy. Two months of doubling down on repression. And then he gives in. It's fascinating.

[@CyndraMystic]

I was listening to this, while reading along on project gutenburg, to help improve my English. I was getting confused on why it kept skipping lines, it took me a while to notice, this was the abridged version. Should have checked the description. But it was nice listen to.

[@shantibel]

This classic masterpiece is marvellously performed.

[@AerisShenlin]

what an absolutely amazing story this is, when read by the master. I enjoyed every second of it.

My first thought at hearing cristopher Lee was “I’ve been looking forward to this. “ when Cristopher Lee played count Dooku in Star Wars.

Christopher Lee's acting chops and beautiful voice more then made up for the "abridged-ness".

[@efoxkitsune9493]

Do you have any idea how heavily abridged this version is? Will I miss anything important?

[@maraxussrafhael]

@@efoxkitsune9493 It is not heavily, maybe 10% or a little more is 'lost'. It is a really short book, why not read it? :D

[@efoxkitsune9493]

@@maraxussrafhael Hi, well for one, I really wanted to hear it narrated in Christopher Lee's voice haha (which is what I ended up doing then, and it was awesome), and the main reason I didn't just read it is pretty simple: at the time I wrote that comment 8 months ago, I was studying for my BA finals (not sure where you're from, but in my country, there's a huge oral exam to sum up those entire 3 years of study). For its main part, I had to learn about around 150-200 books, ideally read all of them, so I was trying to read as many as I could in a really short time-span. Imagine you spend all day studying (= reading from books or, more frequently, from the computer monitor), morning to night, every day, for weeks... your eyes and your brain get really tired. So that's when audiobooks came to the rescue, haha. Whenever I needed to take a break from the constant reading/studying, I would put on an audiobook, which allowed me to simultaneously relax and keep learning, in a way. So short audiobooks were a blessing. It was intense but I found this system to work pretty well for me. I just did not have the capacity to physically read everything. Btw, in case you're interested to know, I ended up passing the exams :)

[@maraxussrafhael]

@@efoxkitsune9493 I was going to start my previous comment with 'I do not know if it is for a test, but...', haha so my first guess was correct. I 'run' a book club and I read this one in portuguese and in english and now I am listening to it, that is why I told you it is not THAT abridged, at least I could not notcie any change. Concerning the test, I am really glad that you passed, I wish you all the best, for you and your family. God Bless!

tbh i was following along with an unabridged version of the text and this was very close, they just took out mid sentence fluff. things like run on figurative language, mostly allusions or added description. it’s not too far off :)

What does " Full abridged audio version..." mean?

[@nickjames2521]

I Think it means, ‘a full reading of the chopped up version of the story (aka the abridged version)’ -badly worded in my opinion-

[@elvenkind6072]

Unabridged is non-dramatized, a plainly read versjon of the original text. So i can only guess that this is a full reading, but dramatized, since most dramatized versions are shorter, with more drama and less text. The best answer would probably be found in a Wikipedia article...

[@paddymeboy]

@@elvenkind6072 No, unabridged means that it is the complete text, no cuts. I suppose 'full abridged' means that the recording does not present the complete text, but that this posting presents the complete recording.
