I really enjoyed this classic. The ethics of Dr. Moreau and the lengths Prendick had to go to were thought-provoking and chilling.

One of my favorite quotes:

"Now they stumbled in the shackles of humanity, lived in a fear that never died, fretted by a law they could not understand; their mock-human existence, begun in agony, was one long internal struggle, one long dread of Moreau - and for what?"

Scary and thought provoking. A reflective whirlwind of a ride.
