Ein Schiffsunglück, eine einsame Insel, ein geheimnisvoller Doktor, grausame Experimente, seltsame Kreaturen - einmal umrühren und fertig ist ein erstaunlich zeitloser Klassiker. Und im Hintergrund schwebt die Frage, was einen Menschen zu einem Menschen macht.

Just amazing.
I love the way Wells picks up the topics he wants to discuss and shows the reader clearly where the issue lies. This book as a statement towards animal cruelty by showing off humanly and animalistic cruelty is amazing to show the aftermath of animal experiments. Especially written in a time as H. G. Wells lived. I love this author and I loved this book.

There are some more lengthy parts, but it's quite a good story nonetheless, exploring the boundaries between human and animal (or monster).
