The Island of Dr Moreau - H. G. Wells

First published in 1896, and it still rocked on my tiny Android phone running Kobo e-reader software.

Edward Prendick is shipwrecked, saved by a passing boat, and ends up stranded on an island with  Dr. Moreau and his assistant, Montgomery. These guys are into animal vivisection. I.e. Live animal surgery. Of the kind that makes the animals human.

But the 'animal' part never really leaves them, and as they roam the island unchecked, they regress...

Classic suspense/morality tale/old fashioned story telling. 8/10.
