The well-known tale of the scientist who invents a formula which turns him into a monster, and what he does about it.

This is a more adult book, and the heroes are quite real and likable, but the story itself is a bit slow and the Scottish dialog a bit tiring. It's 1750's, Scotland, and we get a view of life in that place in those times.

Adventure story suitable for youngsters. Pirates, ships, swashbuckling, Long John Silver, intrigue, the works. Light and short.
