Finished it/Reading in English
I had never heard of this story before so until I had read three or four chapters I didn´t know what was going on. Once I started understanding the whole story, I was anxious to know the end of the book. I think the majority of the chapters were catchy and entertaining. Maybe there were situations that were too long to what they actually wanted to explain but overall I really like the book.
I hope our next lecture will be as good as this one!
About reading in english, I think this book has help me a lot to improve my vocabulary since there were a few words that I didn´t know until I look for them in the dictionary. Reading in english is a very good thing if we want to learn new ways of expressing ourselves. I think this book has a higher level than the ones that we had read in the past but this is actually a good thing because it can help us with our reading exams.

He found out a potion which could transform him into another person, Mr Hyde. But one day he needed so desperately to get free, that he drank the poison again.
