A review by marieeh
The Daughter of Doctor Moreau by Silvia Moreno-Garcia

adventurous dark emotional mysterious sad tense medium-paced

4.0

Fell a little flat for me in the final third - which is where you'd normally expect a climax, so it was a little odd.  I loved the first two parts, very atmospheric, gothic-esque.  The final part just had a little too much action all at once.  It also went very differently than what I had been expecting.  Liked the epilogue quite a lot though.
Still a good, mysterious read, with high tensions and emotion.  I could imagine this as a movie by del Toro, which made me realize I would love to see one of Moreno-Garcia's books adapted for film.  I really enjoyed it!
