The Island of Dr. Moreau

The second part of the book frightens as much as the second part of "Flowers for Algernon", if you know what I mean. Not a surprise (and, maybe,in a positive way) that, apart from one failure of 1996 movie, no director gets down to film it. The genius of H. Wells as a storyteller is in his ability to burst your imagination, keeping you in a constant tension,sometimes even in panic terror and struggle with yourself while formulating your moral attitude to it. You'll change your mind three,four,five times. Great author, great style. Maybe, this topic will ever remain a part of scince fiction, but it's a perfect ethical problem anyway. IT WON'T LET YOU GO TILL THE LAST PAGE.
