Book Review: The Island of Doctor Moreau

This book is a short read but a worthwhile one. It starts out unassuming with a man lost at sea getting found by a passing by ship. After a few interesting interactions he is thrown off the boat with some other passengers. The other passengers who are from a nearby island help the man get ashore and give him shelter. The man however starts to notice strange things on the island, mainly strange creatures. It is a very intriguing concept that the book talks about and to imagine the creatures that are roaming around the island. It is fascinating to see how the culture of the creatures develops through the book. This book has many interesting concepts that you can see emerge in this small community that mimics the world at large. This just makes the book more relatable as you read through it.
