tomleetang 's review for:
The Island of Dr. Moreau
by H.G. Wells
"Had Moreau had any intelligible object, I could have sympathised at least a little with him. I am not so squeamish about pain as that. I could have forgiven him a little even, had his motive been only hate. But he was so irresponsible, so utterly careless! His curiosity, his mad, aimless investigations, drove him on; and the Things were thrown out to live a year or so, to struggle and blunder and suffer, and at last to die painfully."
Dr. Moreau reminded me a bit of Dr. Mengele, playing God with lives just for the hell of it. It's a very readable novella, dabbling in questions of ethics and morality in science, God and grand design versus nature and primal instinct.
