So sad and disturbing. An obvious choice for deep reading and book clubs, with a wide range of topics to explore. I found it interesting to consider not only the actions and attitudes of the characters, but of the narrative and perhaps even the author. The prose didn’t do anything for me but I’m glad I read it.
Poor sloth…

Al inicio se nos advierte que la narración que vamos a leer pudo ser producto de una mente alterada, pero aún así nos adentramos en su narración para conocer la isla de los monstruos. El protagonista luego de un naufragio es rescatado por una nave de la que lo expulsan junto con extraños pasajeros, quienes lo llevan a su isla, así conoce al doctor Moreau y a su ayudante y sus sirvientes, a quienes no termina por reconocer la raza a la que pertenecen. Así descubre que esos sirvientes son en realidad los experimentos de Moreau, el intento por convertir a los animales en humanos. Trepidante novela en la que el suspenso y la crítica a la búsqueda científica sin ética se aunan para explorar el mundo de un científico que llegó demasiado lejos, tanto que sus obras terminaron destruyenéndolo.
