Jekyll and Hyde: Mandarin Companion Graded Readers Level 2 (Mandarin Companion, Book 7)

The good: another level 2 reader for people looking for more content. The story's fun, and the ending subverts your expectations while still making sense. I also like how the story is told from multiple perspectives, which is done pretty well for the most part. The language is pretty natural for what you can do with the limited number of characters,From a more Taiwanese perspective: there's some grammar, like 通過, that sounds kinda weird to me; in Taiwan, I'm more used to seeing 透過 instead for the same purpose. From what I've learned, 通過 is more for passing, like 我通過那個考試。 Idk if that's a TW-CN difference, but that stood out.

Graded readers that are both well-leveled and entertaining are hard to find. This book is both! I recommend it to anyone looking to practice reading at HSK 3.

Didn’t expect the end of the story. Interesting twist on a classic tale. Lots of good new vocabulary that fit my educational background.
