3.0
I think this book was a cool concept and worth the read. I personally didn't love the writing, as it felt too outdated to me. I know it's a classic, but I've read a decent amount of classics and that's usually not a complaint for me.
The book isn't life changing, but certainly worth reading.
3/5 stars.
If you like classics it's worth checking out.

I didn't know anything about the book before going in. I had no idea that the experiments were animal to human instead of the reverse and somehow that makes it worse. The disturbing conclusion is that humanity vs beast aren't binary categories but rather the ends of a spectrum that individuals move between , and it's unsettling to not know who or what they are at that point in time.
