Summary
Written by H.G. Wells, the great visionary author, this legendary novel is both timeless and thought provoking. Listeners will thrill to this chilling masterpiece as man boldly takes evolution into his own hands for the first time. Dr. Moreau, a scientist expelled from his homeland for his cruel experiments, continues his transplantations on a small South Pacific island, creating hideous creatures with manlike intelligence. When the island' s human/beasts revolt, the true consequences of his genetic meddling emerge. This stunning novel introduces listeners to the potential perils and gains of scientific discovery. H.G. Wells, author of the science fiction novels The War of the Worlds, The Invisible Man, and The Island of Dr. Moreau, remains the standard by which modern fantasy authors are judged.

I had never read this classic before and felt that I should, so I'm happy to have finished it. I recommend it for anyone who has not, simply for the fact that having knowledge of this title provides understanding of so many cultural references. However, it could have stood some improvement in the narration pacing, and the title itself is does not measure up to other classics I've enjoyed. Thus the rating of 4/5 on both title and narration.
