Ranked among the classic novels of the English language and the inspiration for several unforgettable movies, this early work of H. G. Wells was greeted in 1896 by howls of protest from reviewers, who found it horrifying and blasphemous. They wanted to know more about the wondrous possibilities of science shown in his first book, The Time Machine, not its potential for misuse and terror. In The Island of Dr. Moreau a shipwrecked gentleman named Edward Prendick, stranded on a Pacific island lorded over by the notorious Dr. Moreau, confronts dark secrets, strange creatures, and a reason to run for his life.
While this riveting tale was intended to be a commentary on evolution, divine creation, and the tension between human nature and culture, modern readers familiar with genetic engineering will marvel at Wells’s prediction of the ethical issues raised by producing “smarter” human beings or bringing back extinct species. These levels of interpretation add a richness to Prendick’s adventures on Dr. Moreau’s island of lost souls without distracting from what is still a rip-roaring good read.

冲着威尔斯的名气买了这本书，读过第一遍后，我没有重读。故事没有预想中的好，写一个人漂流到兽人岛，知晓了岛上的秘密，几经波折，最后逃出。总体上略显粗糙，勉强算中等。
评分有手感的好书
评分这小说写作太糙了
评分我读的那本是原版，蓝皮窄长的小本。因此时时能感觉到它的古老，毕竟是一百年前的科幻小说了。但用心看时，还有惊心动魄处。
