I read this because I wanted to read the Daughter of Doctor Moreau. I thought I knew more culturally about this book than I actually did. I knew it was gonna be racist but wow. The thing about consuming media that set precedents is that it is never the best one. So many things after this have used a similar premise to much better results.
