Starting Chapter II' work and Slave Life: "From Can to Can't" P. 71

On hold for now.

I can't seem to read this book through, page by page. I tend to skip around searching for something I did not know. I still believe it's a good reference book. It helps to put the puzzle together--find the missing pieces. As an African American writer, it's important to me.

I completed the novel Nov. 25.

I've finished the novel and will write the review.

I've finished Prey for the Wicked but can't find it among my currently reading. I just posted a review.

I am not surprised that vivisection continues today. The book didn't get interesting until nearing the end when poor Edward Prendick was truly in trouble, having to fend for his life among the Beast people. Mr. Wells, in penning The Island of Dr. Moreau, saw the future. The future is now and still moving. But will it stabilize? It surely must become more humane.

I'm struggling, trying to finish this horror.

I forgot to mention Wells wrote the original in 1896! As resent as 2 or 3 years ago, a woman had a complete face transplant!

This is a hard book to read--at times gross. H.G. Wells' [Dr. Moreau] vivisection & manipulation is hard to manage. Yet, he talks of transplanting tissue, and far more, which is undertaken today without second thought. Amazing.

I supposed if this book were written in the 20th century no one would be surprised at Dr. Moreau's experiments.

I'm tied up with self-publishing and unable to read at present.
