The Island of Dr. Moreau (4/5)

The Island of Dr. Moreau
H. G. Wells

The Island of Dr. Moreau tells the story of a lost Edward Prendick, who winds up on an island where an exiled scientist and his assistant perform genetic engineering experiments on the wildlife.

I read this book this week in my english class, and I enjoyed it. I feel like people read into this book too much about wether or not Moreau is actually evil or if gentic engineering is bad, but I think as a creepy story it is a very intersting read. The suspense and strange occurances of this island make this book comparable to Frankenstein. I did find the whole "mad scientist" trope overused, but overall I gave this book 4/5 stars.

Thanks for reading another one of my reviews, I apologize that i'm not blogging as much as I used too. Everything is fine, I'm just busy with college. I'm thankful for every single one of you and I'll see you next time!
