So I have sufficiently washed my brain of recollections of the two film versions to start reading The Island of Dr. Moreau. A valiant attempt to bring this to screen was made both times, with high production values and big name stars, but sometimes what reads well is just silly on screen despite the best efforts.

I was hoping that Frankenstein would have come out on top. That should have made for a good discussion. If anyone out there has never read this you really should. The connection to any of the film versions I am aware off is very slight..
