i'm not even sure i liked this, and i despised prendick. but, i also really liked it. the story telling is a little dry, but the images wells evoked and the religious/societal etc. commentary were really strong.
The problem I usually face when I try to read books written in the nineteenth century is that I find them slow. This wasn't the case with The Island of Dr. Moreau. In many aspects, it felt like a modern book. It was quick-paced and easy to read.
The science fiction of it seems even more fascinating when one takes into mind when this was written. This is a tale that could have easily been written in our time and still be fascinating but also terrifying. This, I think, is what makes good science fiction.

An interesting enough book that remarks on the distance between human and beast. It’s famous historically, but feels quite out of date and honestly a little racist nowadays. Not the greatest but a nice historical short read on one of the “first” sci-fi novels
Whoa! Yucky! (But pretty good) I learned that a "ha-ha" is a wall where there's a hill going down to it so you say in surprise, "ha-ha! A wall!" And I learned about Slojd, which is apparently a thing Scandinavians still do where you learn how to make things as part of school.
BAM.
BAM.
