Although the story to this novel was genius (in fact it was said to be the idea for Dr Jeykll and Mr Hyde) the language was awful to read. Quarter of a way into the book I was contemplating giving up, and I don't normally give up on books. The second half improved, but not enough that when I had finished the book I didn't give a cry of relief. 18th Century Scottish can get a bit much sometimes! So in short, great story, terrible language!Started 26th February
