Finally ... FINALLY discovering H.G. Wells
Growing up, I put H.G. Wells in the company of Jules Verne who wrote ahead-of-their-time stories that were basically adventure stories. I unfortunately turned up my nose at Wells having never read any of his books other than War of the Worlds.

Flash forward three or four decades and I found a reference to Wells' The Island of Doctor Moreau in a much more modern novel, James Hynes' Kings of Infinite Space. (Now there's the kind of book I enjoy ... caustic humor and biting satire.) To make a long story short, I was bored and looking for a little light reading. That's when I remembered the reference to Wells' novel and purchased it for my Kindle.

Even before I had finished The Island of Doctor Moreau I had ventured back online to download two more books by Wells. Despite being written more than a century ago, the book is even more relevant now than when it was first penned. Granted, science has gone much further than Moreau with his transfusions and surgical procedures, but Wells' exploration of the nature of humanity and humanity's relation to its maker is timeless.

I had forgotten what a utopian thinker Wells was in his day and was pleasantly surprised to be reminded of that fact. The only caveat I would suggest is that there are a few unflattering racial and ethnic comments made in the book (but given the world in which the book was written, this is a very small complaint).

awesome
great book, great conversion to kindle and great price!I dont read much but this book seems to have brought me back to books.....in digital form at least

Thought Provoking
Reading The Island of Doctor Moreau for the first time was amazing.I've spent 30 plus years with every book I could find on our own ancient history trying to find out where we came from, and I can't help but wonder if H.G. Wells knew something of that history when he wrote his book.In Zacharia Sitchen's work we have the scientist Enki going off the experiment on the local animals to produce a hybrid between his species and the local ape-like creature to produce modern man.Is it merely a coincident or was Wells mining ancient cellular memories.

While Enki did gene-splicing and worked with his sister, (genesis means beginnings/gene of isis) Moreau had his drunken assistant Montgomery.In the Island, the Moreau predicts that the animals will revert back to animals(mark of the beast he calls it) and they do once they see and taste blood.Is that Wells' commentary on mankind, that we revert to beasts once we taste blood(wars)?I also equated the Mark of the Beast that Wells talked about with Revelation and the dreaded Mark Of The Beast which is thought to be a computer chip to some.Maybe it's just us turning back into the beasts our creators brought us up from.Tasting blood does seem to turn us into beasts.

I think this book should be read with Sitchen's work to see the parallels of how we might have been brought up from beasts by a consciousless creator to satisfy his curiosity and test his skills.How Moreau's assistant felt sympathy for the beasts and wanted to teach and befriend them.Enki was sympathetic to his 'beast creations' and wanted to save them from his brother Enlil.Enlil wanted to destroy the beasts(flood) because they sickened him and the beasts wouldn't follow the Law.

Spoiler-read no further.

I especially liked how when Moreau was killed by one of his beasts, Montgomery told the beasts that Moreau wasn't dead he'd just dropped his form to go up to heaven, and that the law still applied, and their creator would be watching from above.Sounds just like a priest trying to stay in power and keep the beasts, who were in the majority from killing him.

When Pendrick finally gets off the island, he finds he can no longer live with the rest of humanity because he keeps seeing a shadow of the beast in their faces.Absolutely amazing book.Read it and have it haunt you for the rest of your life.

When I Dream

Excellent book
H.G. Wells' The Island of Dr. Moreau is a very good book. When I got it the Kindle version was free, so a good deal. I don't like having to pay for public domain books, but I like having them to carry with me. This is very thought provoking and not one you can easily forget. The novel is a sort of commentary on what it is to be human. The science fiction used is a little difficult to suspend disbelief for, what with modern biological knowledge of genetics, but it isn't something that really interferes with the story. A very interesting read, I strongly recommend The Island of Dr. Moreau.

why pay so much?
this is just about a specific edition which sells for three times (!?) what it should. stick with the better editions- like The Island Of Doctor Moreau which are a third of the cost ... Read more
