The Island of Dr. Moreau, by H.G Wells - Review

The book is told from the first-person perspective of Edward Prendick. He survives a shipwreck and is then saved by a passing vessel.

He meets Montgomery and a bunch of other weird characters who look suspiciously like animals and is taken with them to Dr. Moreau’s island.

Edward meets the doctor, whom he knew to be a famous scientist in London – but was banished for his experiments.

Edward s0on suspects Moreau is doing strange experiments on his island with people and animals, and after a series of strange events – meeting a lot of people who again, look suspiciously like animals – Edward runs away into the jungle, afraid he will be the doctor’s next experiment.

There he meets the failed experiments of Dr. Moreau, a bunch of human-hybrid animals who have formed a society in the jungle on the island. Edward lives with the animals for a while and gets to know them. Then, a complete breakdown of Moreau’s experimental island becomes imminent.
