The Island of Dr. Moreau - H.G. Wells

For being a very short novel (a novella I guess) this story was very good and felt complete. I very much enjoyed the story as mere entertainment as Wells is a good writer who can pique the imagination without being overly verbose. There is a lot to consider in the philosophy of Wells that comes through the story as well; such as, the meaning and origin of humanness, and the basic equality in humanity, what governs human behavior and so forth. I think I would wholly disagree with Wells on the answers to those questions but the story is a great way to stimulate the ideas and conversation on the topic.
