THE ISLAND OF DOCTOR MOREAU by H. G. WELLS - FULL AudioBook Greatest AudioBooks
video description
Recently, my father told me that in China, scientists are working on half-human, half-animal super soldiers by injecting humans with animal DNA. So, I believe H. G. Wells has done it again; he predicted war and nuclear and laser guns, wireless communication, and moon landings, and now I think the prediction of genetic science has officially come true in 2021, and the man is already dead! Its like hes predicting his last prediction FROM BEYOND THE GRAVE!

While I can certainly understand and appreciate the need for vivid details in a story so that we can visualize things better, I feel this is one weakness of HG Wells is that he relies too much on details to act as fillers for his stories. He's not concise. Most of his stories are filled with about 80% insignificant details. He'll waste a whole page writing about the appearance of an unimportant character or a whole chapter where a character breaks down a single easy-to-understand concept. So much more adventure and action could fit in his stories if he'd just stop trying to impress us so hard with minute details.

The lauded author um. borrowed a bit from Jonathan Swift, in Gulliver's Travels. When he returns from the island of the Houyhnhnms, the horses with a peaceable society, and the Yahoos, disgusting humanlike creatures.
On his return, Gulliver avoided people for a long time. He just stayed in the stables a lot.

I find it so fascinating. This story writen in the late 1800s has such a vivid story line. I believe this inspired many others. There is a Manga from the 1960s called blue submarine no 6 that has a mad scientist creating an army of humanoid/chimera species. I wonder if he was inspired by the island of Dr. Mureau.

Listening in bed (my bedtime story to send me to sleep) I find this narrator speaks too rapidly. I’ve slowed the playback speed. That’s better, but I can’t get rid of this guys slurring of his words and throaty I’ve got a heavy cold noises. Sigh!

this audio is the same as the Oxford Addition I have to read for my lecture. And I like to read while listening to the audio to get it as well as possible. I sometimes miss something or don't understand until I say it out loud, so audio is good for me.

the slaves of no fantastic law
Funny how a Catholic society could be considered to not be the slaves of some fantastic law. Not to mention the laws which we all must abide by but which we have not consented to be governed by.

I can suspend my disbelief for the whole of this story and is truly one of my favourite H. G Wells stories but am the only one who thinks it weird that they were adrift for 8 days without learning the sailors name

This Gentleman actually has a decent speaking voice some of the readers I've heard narrating other books so far are terrible.

This drags on so much. When he got on the small boat and left the island I just stopped it. Total waste of my time honestly.
