Why read it?

1 author picked The Album of Dr. Moreau as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This book is a locked-room murder mystery about a boy band made up of animal/human hybrids. It’s the most fun I’ve had reading in a very long time.

The characters and dialogue are so charming and playful. The affectionate satire about boy bands, fandom, and science fiction/mystery tropes is sharp and funny. And, like a good album, you want to listen to it over and over again.
