Beasts

For my science fiction class this semester I just finished The Island of Dr. Moreau by H.G. Wells. The story is narrated by a scientist who comes to find himself stranded on an island in the Pacific Ocean. This island is none other than Dr. Moreau's, the infamous vivisector of London. Basically, all hell breaks lose when Dr. Moreau's beasts (animals physiologically reshaped and combined with other animals in order to resemble humans) revert back to their animalistic nature. Overall, the novel is quite slow to start, and somewhat difficult to read based on the older language. The middle/ending of the book is better, with more action.
