The Daughter of Doctor Moreau

A slow start for me (with two false starts!) but I really enjoyed it by the end, which came as a bit of a surprise. The second half really picked up a lot of speed and I whizzed through it. I found the story very interesting as I didn't know the original before reading this, and liked Montgomery and Lupe the most of the characters, though I think they generally didn't have enough time to be developed too deeply - it didn't detract from my wanting to keep reading it though! 

I've had Mexican Gothic on my TBR for a long time now, and I like her writing style after this book so I'll get to that one soonish.
