There are actual audiobooks voiced by the actual actor who played gandalf... like the oddessy. Its actually amazing. this guy is certainly not the worst but reads way too aggressively and monotonously to convey the book particularly well or keep the attention of your mind... shame, he has a great voice and if he spoke without that intense knife edge, with more patience... then he could be excellent, captivating. The story is already intense enough on its own and him yelling the whole thing is a bit too much.

One of my favorite H.G. Wells stories that for me no movie adaptation can really do justice to it, although IMHO the 1930's movie 'The Island of Lost Souls' comes closest to the tone of the original Well's story. I can kind of understand why no movie adaptation ever used the name of the original narrator 'Edward Prendick' from the original story though. :-)

There is an interesting documentary about it and the film that it did eventually become, but I would have still loved to had seen what the original concept would have been, especially after hearing the source material.

This has to be one of my favorite novels of all time, because the thought of coming to an island of half-human, half-animal hybrids created by a man with a serious god complex is astounding. And the scary part is... it could be possible to create an island of Dr. Moreau! There are a lot of people out there who are a lot like Dr. Moreau, and they end up either dead or in prison. 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! It's like he's predicting his last prediction FROM BEYOND THE GRAVE!
