The Man He Never Was: A Modern Reimagining of Jekyll and Hyde by James L. RubartMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
This is not the first book by James L. Rubart that I have read, and I'm sure it won't be the last. As with the author's other books, this intriguing novel gives you much to think about. If you've ever read and studied [i]The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde[/i], then you know where this story is going. And if you're a Christian, then you really understand this story. Inside each of us is both good and bad; the one we feed the most is the one we show the most.
As with other books by this author, there are supernatural elements, but it's not a Sci-Fi or fantasy novel. It's the story of a modern-day man who wakes up one day and discovers he disappeared eight months before after leaving a note that could be construed as a suicide note. He's not the man he used to be, and he never wants to be that man again....and that's the struggle.
Well worth a read, even if books with a few supernatural elements are not your normal cup of tea.
