As a big fan of science fiction novels, I was excited to read The Island of Doctor Moreau, one of H.G. Wells’ more famous works. It illustrates the experiences of Edward Prendick, who, after being left to die at sea, was rescued by Dr. Moreau and his close friend, Montgomery. It goes on to tell us of his adventures, stranded on an island with a man vivisecting animals. And though I liked the novel, the story was disturbing, and, at times, frightening. I would recommend the book, but only to people who have read H.G Wells’ works before. I say this because this novel is very disquieting, but, if you have read his other novels, you should be used to his style of writing and his disturbing imagery. On a scale out of five, I would rate this book a three. Catherine, grade 9, of the Yorba Linda Teen Book Bloggers
