The sole survivor of a shipwreck finds himself stranded on a mysterious island populated by strange creatures, a mysterious doctor and his assistant.
I remembered liking the book during university, but enjoyed it all the more so for having the time to return to it leisurely. I always enjoy the adventure tale quality early sci-fi holds, and this book combines that with mystery in a way that really suits my tastes.
This books is a great and easy introduction to H.G. Wells’ work. It’s short, but has a depth to it, and it’s always fun to read the source of anything much referenced.
