Wells' The Invisible Man, which I really liked.<br />I think I may give this one a go after reading your review - thanks!TheBookGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04299629066975342607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6637440206562155541.post-62240561821115701412011-03-31T17:13:34.735+01:002011-03-31T17:13:34.735+01:00Wells was a big believer of Darwin's theories,...Wells was a big believer of Darwin's theories, and it was really obvious in The Time Machine. I find it highly interesting that he managed to inject different aspects of his beliefs into The Island of Doctor Moreau. I should really read this one soon. :)Darlyn (Your Move, Dickens)https://www.blogger.com/profile/00979296421309409564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6637440206562155541.post-44006387134920350902011-03-29T00:50:37.643+01:002011-03-29T00:50:37.643+01:00I loved this story.

Most of the books seem so interesting but I've tried to read some and i just get confused by all of the characters and the extensive creations of worlds. :(Michelle (Red Headed Book Child)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02203139179710289533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6637440206562155541.post-21531187429863171932011-03-25T23:28:51.284+00:002011-03-25T23:28:51.284+00:00I have this one on my TBR list and I'm quite l...I have this one on my TBR list and I'm quite looking forward to reading it.Trishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18273468231529654323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6637440206562155541.post-38299672448661013942011-03-25T22:36:04.445+00:002011-03-25T22:36:04.445+00:00I've read a lot by H.G.
