The narrator is ill suited to this book. He seems a bit unemotional and smug.

An early example of science fiction that dives into the ethics of research and the frailty of society.

I haven't listened to any other adaptations of this book, but I highly recommend this one by Jonathan Kent. I just love the way he says "Silly Ass"! His narration also really made the beast men come alive for me. The book itself is the wonderful book from H. G. Wells and it's amazing. Thanks for this production!

It tells the story of an English explorer named Edward Prendick who survives a shipwreck and finds himself stranded on an uncharted island off the coast of West Africa. There he encounters a mad scientist, Dr. Moreau, who has been conducting large experiments on animals to create human-like beings by combining animal parts with those of humans.

Enjoyed the story and the narration but the audio levels were either too high or too low which required the volume to be turned up and down all the time which proved distracting.
