A review by z523
Dr. Franklin's Island by Ann Halam

3.0

First thing I thought of when I heard about this book was The Island of Dr. Moreau. Note by the author at the end said it was inspired by The Island of Dr. Moreau. Called it!

Anyway, started off like it was going to be super horror style, but it takes down significantly. The writing style is a little different, almost as if the main character is recounting the story to the reader. Some people are bothered by it in other reviews, it seemed fine to me.

Anyway, I thought it would be creepier than it would be, and I guess I was let down by that, but the story was somewhat interesting.
